                DATABASE OF MATERIALS RELATING TO
            LATIN AMERICA, CARIBBEAN AND US SOUTHWEST
             BEING DEVELOPED FOR SECONDARY-LEVEL USE
        ------------------------------------------------

        The Latin America Data Base is gathering information on Latin
American curriculum materials for grades 6-12 to be included in a
computer database called "Resources for Teaching about the Americas
network" (RETAnet).  This information will be available for free to
Internet users worldwide.

        We are searching for materials that will help secondary teachers
when forming lesson plans or teaching about the Americas.  We are also
interested in secondary curricula that deals with Latin America.  To have
your organization's resources included in the database, please fill out
the form below.  We appreciate you filling out one form for each
resource.  To ease the creation of the data base, please follow the
form as closely as possible.  Please don't send us your materials;
however, if there are P.R. brochures of them, feel free to send them.
We are only creating  an annotated list:  educators will contact you
directly to request your materials.

        The Latin America Data Base is part of the Latin American
Institute at the University of New Mexico.  LADB boasts a nine-year track
record as a leader in the field of electronic publishing and database
production.  LADB generates timely, comprehensive information on Latin
America through its three electronic publications, "Chronicle of Latin
American Economic Affairs," "NotiSur - Latin American Political Affairs,"
and "SourceMex - Economic News and Analysis on Mexico."  These
publications and the developing RETAnet database are available via Internet.

        Thank you for sharing your information.  We hope that the RETAnet
database will help make your materials more accessible to educators.  If
you have any questions please call Lisa Falk or Kendra Neff at
