This guide explains the layout of The Cervantes Project website and describes the structure and content of various directories and links. The following areas are available in this guide:

Site Map/Guide Contents

The Cervantes Project web site is divided into several distinct categories. Links to these sections are present on the toolbar to the left at all times. These areas are listed and described in detail below.

Main Site Areas

Bibliography
The Bibliography section contains a collaborative effort on the part of professors and researchers from Texas A&M University, the Centro del Estudios Cervantinos, and others from countries around the world to compile the Cervantes International Bibliography Online and the Anuario Bibliográfico Cervantino which are described below.

Cervantes International Bibliography Online
The Cervantes International Bibliography Online (CIBO) is a comprehensive record of all significant books, articles, dissertations, reviews, and other scholarly materials related to Cervantes' works and life.

The CIBO is compiled with the assistance of an international team of collaborators, and produced in the Department of Modern & Classical Languages, Texas A&M University, in cooperation with the Center for the Study of Digital Libraries (CSDL) -- part of the TAMU Engineering Program -- and with the financial support of the Centro de Estudios Cervantinos, Alcalá de Henares (Spain).

Anuario Bibliográfico Cervantino
The ABC is published annually in the Fall as an incremental bibliography to supplement the cumulative Cervantes International Bibliography Online (CIBO). It follows the same organization and format as the CIBO and aims to include everything published during the previous year plus two indexes: 1) Authors, reviewers, editors and translators; 2) Subjects and Names.

Texts
The Cervantes Digital Library (CDL) is a digital library of Cervantes's complete works in several versions (princeps, old-spelling, modernized, English) along with the interfaces, hypertext links, and search engines to facilitate their use at multiple levels. Our goal is to develop a collection of texts and editions fully integrated with the other components of the Project (Bibliography, Images, and Links).

The (CDL) is a project developed in collaboration with the Center for the Study of Digital Libraries and Prof. Fred Jehle of Indiana-Purdue University, and receives financial support from the College of Liberal Arts, Texas A&M University, and the Centro de Estudios Cervantinos, Alcalá de Henares (Spain).

All texts are copyright protected and are published on the World Wide Web with the permission of the copyright holders. The texts may be used for non-commercial purposes. Written permission is required for commercial and for-profit uses.
