The collection for Latin American Studies  (CEDLA) is located at the IWO and is only available on request by CataloguePlus. In summer 2025, the CEDLA collection will move to the new building of the UB.

The CEDLA Library has an extensive collection covering the social sciences, economy, human geography, history and culture of Latin America. Books in Spanish and Portuguese comprise half of the collection, the other half being predominantly in English.
