into broad sections. Its excellent subject index makes it easy to use. It
includes citations for interesting works on "Refranes" (proverbs),
"curanderos" (healers), "cuentos" (tales) and other interesting aspects of

with a Chicano theme. It is the only index that exists for literature
written by Chicanos. Entries are organized alphabetically by subject. It
contains an author/title index, as well as a thesaurus that is useful in
indexing Chicano Studies materials. This title is mandatory for all types
of libraries serving the Chicano public.

By Francisco Lomeli and Donaldo W. Urioste. Pajarito Publications,

include lexicon from other Southwestern states. A dictionary such as this
one is very useful for people who wish to "periquear" (talk/communicate)
with Chicanos.

Feliciana Rivera. Greenwood Press, 1981. 472p $35. 0-313-21203-1
LC 80-24750
Dictionary of Chicano Studies could have been the title of this work. Al-
though written from a historical perspective, it contains entries which
relate to the areas of Chicano culture and literature. It was written
with a wide audience in mind and contains short articles, cross-references
and some suggested readings. A complete text of the Treaty of Guadalupe/
Hidalgo (the treaty that officially ended the war between the U.S. and
Mexico in 1848) is included, as well as a short glossary of Chicano terms,

tact persons and other pertinent information, such as collection scope,
of the many bibliographic services that concentrate their efforts on the
Hispanic. It is organized alphabetically by the name of the project (ser-
vice/center) and comes with primary focus (Chicano, Cuban, etc.), Geographical
and Institutional indexes. It also contains an "In-progress" listing of
archival collections on Hispanics.

tion such as recommended grade level.
*37. The Mexican American - A Critical Guide to Research Aids. Compiled by

0-892-3200-60 LC 76-5643 (165 W. Putnam Ave., Greenwood, Connecticut
06330)
This is the best bibliography, currently in print, of reference sources on
the Chicano. Its entries, organized into broad categories by types of
material and subject, contain excellent annotations.
A monograph entitled Quien Sabe? A Preliminary List of Chicano Reference
Materials (see item No. 41) updates this bibliography to a large extent.
Robinsons's work is useful for college/university students and researchers.
All librarians should become very familiar with the contents of this work.
38. Mexican American Education Study Reports Nos. 1-6. U.S. Commission on
Civil Rights, 1971-74. (Available from U.S. Government Printing Office.)
This set of reports is a valuable reference tool for questions regarding the
education of Mexican Americans because of the many statistical graphs and
tables it contains. Every public and academic library in the Southwest
should have one.
39. News Monitoring Service. Comite de Mexico y Aztlan (COMEXAZ). Monthly.
COMEXAZ, May 1972 to date. $200./yr.
A newspaper clipping and indexing service, the COMEXAZ provides a valuable
reference tool for questions on recent events about Mexican Americans and
Mexico. Seven major Southwestern newspapers are clipped for relevant articles,
indexed and reproduced. By-line, geographical, personal name and subject
indexes help to locate articles.
A notice of termination for this title has not been seen, but the last issue
received was for December, 1980. It is hoped that its suspension is only
temporary.
40. Persons of Spanish Origin in the United States, March 1978. Final Report.

Chicano librarians at UCLA have compiled this short bibliography of the
most recent and useful reference works for Chicano Studies. Arranged by
Library of Congress classification numbers, the entries are accessible via
well developed name, title, and subject indexes.
The annotations in this bibliography are well written and very informative.
This is a work that should be read in conjunction with Robinson's bibliography
(item no. 37) by all librarians serving Chicanos.
*42. A Selected and Annotated Bibliography of Chicano Studies. 2d ed. Compiled
by Charles M. Tatum. Society of Spanish Speaking and Spanish American
Studies, 1979. $12.pa. 0-89295-011-0 LC 79-64044 (Dept. of Modern
Languages and Literature, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln,
Nebraska 68588)
Dr. Tatum's bibliography is the most up-to-date annotated source of biblio-
graphic citations of works on the Chicano. It is a good source for materials
in the following categories: Art, the Chicana, folklore, journals, language,
literature and music. The section on literature is subdivided by genre and
accounts for its strongest point. Thus, it is useful as an update to Lomeli's
bibliography of Chicano literature (item no. 31). Unfortunately, it lacks
a subject index.
This bibliography should be used in conjunction with Dr. Arnulfo D. Trejo's
comprehensive, better organized, but not as up-to-date Bibliographia Chicana.
(Gale Research Co., 1975. 193p.)
