SPAN 6220: Home

Hello SPAN 6200 students, this guide has been created to give some suggestions and strategies as far as how to start your research for your course. 

This tab or page will focus on some of the specifics regarding researching Medieval Spanish Literature.

General information about finding books, using GIL Express, ILL-Odum Express, and search strategies for databases can be found on the additional pages/tabs. 

Find books at Valdosta State University and other University System of Georgia institutions with GIL-Find (see Find Books tab for more information)

• Select the filter "Full Access Online" to limit your results to e-books and other digital materials. 
• You can also experiment with the "Available in the Library" filter.
