This pathfinder contains basic links to science and technology sites relating to Jamaica.

The most important source for bibliography of books and articles concerning Jamaica is the annual Handbook of Latin American Studies (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/hlas/) produced by over 130 contributing editors under the editorship of the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress. One of the major aggregators for links to a wide variety of subjects relating to Jamaica is the University of Texas' LANIC (See below). Another site one should especially note is the site prepared by the Law Library of the Library of Congress for legal, political, and general information on their Guide to Law Online: Nations of the World: Jamaica (http://www.loc.gov/law/guide/jamaica.html).
