Online Resources for Black History Month

Gale is offering free online resources in honor of Black History Month. Our library also subscribes to Oxford's African American Studies Center, which includes articles, images, and primary source materials on the African American experience. They have recently added more biographies and primary documents on the Underground Railroad.

Black History Month

February is Black History Month. This year’s national theme is African Americans and the Civil War. This month African American men and women are honored who courageously fought for freedom and equality in the United States during the 1860’s and for the vital role they played in the Civil War. The library display case is filled with books that can be checked out on this significant time period in United States history.

New A&E Titles in Films on Demand

This month, Films Media Group has added new titles from A&E to Films On Demand. Titles include programs from the A&E series Biography, Declassified, Evolve, Great Blunders of the 20th Century, How the Earth Was Made, In Search of History, Investigative Reports, The Korean War, Save Our History, 10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America, The Universe, World War II in HD, and A&E Specials that revisit important events and experiences from the annals of history.

New Look for Web Site

The library home page has many new features to help students and faculty use library resources:

• Tabbed interface for Books, Articles, and Video
• Video tab has a search box for our physical video collection AND a search box for Films on Demand
• Patron Info is now on the left side and is called “Your Library Account”
• Ask A Librarian box on the right with phone, email and texting options
  
• New pages for Library Instruction, Citation Styles, Mobile Access to Library Resources and Services for Faculty.
• New Databases by Subject page on the Articles tab, and Databases A-Z list is now a true A-Z list, moving the EBSCO and Gale databases out to where they belong alphabetically. You can still go to EBSCO or Gale in the list to cross search EBSCO or Gale databases.

We hope these changes make using the library easier. Please email any comments or suggestions to askalibrarian@century.edu.
