BCR posted the message below about an online Britannica resource that features country profiles, biographies, photos, histories, cultures, learning tools, etc. that public, school and academic libraries can use for celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month:
"The vibrant heritage and culture of Hispanic Americans are celebrated in Britannica's Spotlight, Encyclopædia Britannica's Guide to Hispanic Heritage in the Americas."
