This research guide provides a starting point for research in foreign languages and literatures. Getting Started points to good overviews and quick information. Find Books/Media helps you figure out how to use our catalog (for books and videos) while Find Articles aids you to learn how to search and browse our databases and electronic journals (scholarly articles, newspaper items, etc.). Find Articles also takes you to a list of “best” databases for research in foreign languages and literatures.

How do I covers questions you may have, such as “How do I type international accent marks and diacritics?“ or “How do I cite a source?” or “How do I get things not at Hunter Library?”

Websites links to websites that might be of interest to foreign language enthusiasts.

For your listening pleasure enjoy Streaming Music from the Smithsonian Global Sound for Libraries.

Daily headlines from El Pais are on the right hand of the page. You can also read daily headlines from Le Figaro or from Spiegel Online.
