New Multicultural Databases at the libraries

See our 3 most recently added library databases: African American Experience, Latino American Experience and American Indian Experience. Each of these has an Education category which covers topics like access to education, discrimination and topics specific to the experience of the group like Brown v. Board of Education, Bilingual Education and Linguistic Genocide. The databases also include access to primary resources, topic guides and K-12 lesson plans which may be used to our TED students.

To access the databases, go to the library homepage and click on Article Databases. You can type in the name of the database, or select the beginning letter of the database name to select and access from the alphabetical list.

To directly access the databases, use the following links:
