Bienvenidos a la Biblioteca!: A Spanish Pointing Guide
A 60 page, English-Spanish Pointing Guide for Public Service Staff and their Customers presents many typical front-line situations in an easy-to-use tabular format: both English-speaking staff and customers who speak Spanish can conduct an unspoken dialog by pointing to the questions and responses that appear side-by-side in English and Spanish. The work is a copyrighted document but can be used either in entirety or in excerpts, as long as the Beaufort County Library is attributed. This permission in no way implies that the Beaufort County Library endorses (the user) or the use of the work.

Reflexiones desde los EE.UU.: El posicionamiento de la Argentina ante la industria editorial (2008)
Fuera de Miami, Nueva York, o Los Ángeles, no se concibe a los Estados Unidos como país de habla castellana. No obstante, la demografía actual nos indica otra cosa. En las figuras oficiales del Departamento del Censo Estadounidense, hubo 41.3 millones de habitantes hispanoamericanos en EE.UU. en 2005, y los números siguen creciendo. Ellos, tratados como latinos en el vernáculo, o hispanos en la oficialía, no son una raza, sino una etnia: mexicanos, centroamericanos, sudamericanos y caribeños… negros, blancos, mestizos y morenos- y su población ha aumentado casi un cien por ciento desde 1990.
