1. Searching for kids' magazines
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: Peter Fekety <feketp@mont.lib.md.usmailto:feketp@mont.lib.md.us>
We are a medium sized public library in suburban
Washington, D.C., looking to subscribe to one or two children’s
magazines in Spanish - we're talking anything that would appeal
to grades 1-6 - we have heard of something called Chispa
that comes out of Mexico, but are unable to find much information
about it - any suggestions? Thanks...

2. Chispa and hundreds of other international
serials
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want to see Chispa online, click http://www.unam.mx/serv_hem/revistas/ninios/181/indic181.html
One place to hunt for foreign periodicals is a company
called Faxon. At http://www.faxon.com/guide/default.htm
you will find a tool that supports searches by country, title, and
several other criteria. Chispa is in there, along with
dozens of others from Mexico; what's lacking is at this site is
descriptive info.

From: <lisar@nethost.multnomah.lib.or.us>
My name is Lisa Regimbal and I am a librarian at
Multnomah County Public Library in Portland, Oregon. Here at Multnomah
County we have had a scattered approach to serving our Spanish-speaking
patrons and we are trying to create a cohesive plan. I am hoping
to get a lot of good ideas from this listserv.

5. Website for Spanish-speaking students
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Barbara Miller at Cal State-Fullerton has put together
a terrific Spanish-language guide, El Web en Español, for
students:
http://guides.library.fullerton.edu/webespa/
Some of the licensed electronic resources here are
only accessible to CSUF students, but nonetheless there's a wealth
of good stuff at this attractive site.

6. Oops
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: Lillian Marrero <marrerol@library.phila.gov>
Just to let you know. I bookmarked the SOL
web page and it shows up as an "untitled document". I
am sure you can fix it.
Saludos,
Lillian
[Note from a blushing Flaco: This kind of
feedback is embarrassing but welcome...in fact, I never metadata
I didn't like, and I’ve added some to the page. Thanks, Lillian.]
