There have been several developments to the electronic resources page and their LibGuides:
A Language Resources LibGuide can now be found under the Electronic Resources/Databases LibGuide.
This page contains a list of resources for those wanting to learn a language. Click on a link to be taken to a website. Please note: These are not SDSL database subscriptions. For technical/training assistance, please see each site's help/contact page.
ProQuest's new open source database, Black Freedom Struggle in the United States, has been added to the SDSL database page and a LibGuide created. These reliable, easily discoverable materials may be used for homework assignments, personal inquiry, research papers and National History Day type-projects focused on African American history in the U.S. Educators may use this material to teach a specific topic or person, such as Frederick Douglass or the Abolitionist Movement, to introduce students to using primary sources and to help novice researchers develop essential critical thinking and information literary skills. The content is curated around six time periods:
- Resistance to Slavery and the Abolitionist Movement (1790-1860)
- The Civil War and the Reconstruction Era (1861-1877)
- Jim Crow Era from 1878 to the Great Depression (1878-1932)
- The New Deal and World War II (1933-1945)
- The Civil Rights and Black Power Movements (1946-1975)
- The Contemporary Era (1976-2000)
