According to recent research, Spanish is one of the world's top five languages and is spoken by several hundred million people globally. Also, trends suggest that its usage will continue to grow rapidly. Acceda Noticias provides Web-based access to the complete electronic editions of more than 20 Spanish-language newspapers published in major U.S. cities. It also includes the complete electronic editions of newspapers and tens of thousands of current and archived full-text articles from other news sources across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Columbia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and Spain. All news and information content is written in Spanish, rather than translated from other languages.

A resource for the large and growing Spanish-speaking population
With this specialized, value-priced resource, libraries can inexpensively extend the domestic or international news coverage provided by their Access World News collection. Acceda Noticias can be cross-searched with these collections, and it shares the same user-friendly interface. However, it can also be browsed, searched and purchased individually.

Spanish-language interface and coverage of current issues
Acceda Noticias not only features a wealth of primary source information from Spanish-language news sources and services, but also it enables students and faculty to choose between two versions of the interface—one in English and the other with all search, navigation and help in Spanish. Beyond, Acceda Noticias is an ideal resource for Spanish speakers interested in researching current issues, and it is also a useful tool for those learning Spanish or English as a second language. Acceda Noticias offers multiple perspectives on a wide range of current issues in the U.S. and abroad, including:

• Spanish history & culture
• Government & politics
• Entertainment
• Sports
• People
• Religion
• International relations
• Environment
• Immigration
• Civil rights
• Law
• And much more
