New research databases: February 2023

 


This beautiful grey owl perched on a tree at the edge of our "Back 40" earlier this week.

Patient, still, maybe sleeping? Definitely interested in the activity in the small stretch of open water below their vantage point.

Kind of like a researcher, waiting to see what will transpire ...




The following databases are now available for Carleton faculty, students, and staff.

Archives of Sexuality & Gender

Gale’s Archives of Sexuality and Gender spans the 16th to 20th centuries and is a large digital collection of historical primary source publications relating to the history and study of sex, sexuality, and gender research and gender studies research. 

Documentation covering disciplines such as social, political, health, and legal issues impacting LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) communities around the world are included, as well as rare and unique books on sex and sexuality from the sciences to the humanities to support research and education. 

The selection of materials for this milestone digital program is guided by an advisory board consisting of leading scholars and librarians in sexuality and gender studies.

  •        International Perspectives on LGBTQ Activism and Culture
  •          L'Enfer de la Bibliotheque Nationale de France
  •          LGBTQ since 1940, pt.1
  •          LGBTQ since 1940, pt.2
  •          Sex and Sexuality, Sixteenth to Twentieth Century

 The database is listed alphabetically under the Databases link, accessible via the Library website home page.


Indigenous Peoples of North America Part II

We now have access to Indigenous Peoples of North America Parts I and II.

Part II enables researchers to study the impact of invasion and colonization on Indigenous Peoples in North America, and the intersection of Indigenous and European histories and systems of knowledge through the use of resources like manuscripts, monographs, newspapers, photographs, motion pictures, and images of artwork. 

The database is listed alphabetically under the Databases link, accessible via the Library website home page.

 

Indigenous Peoples of the Americas: History, Culture & Law

This database focuses on Indigenous peoples in the United States and consolidates materials available on indigenous American life and law, and shares the tremendous influence that indigenous peoples and their cultures have had on the development of the U.S.

With more than 4,000 titles and 2.3 million pages, this database includes an expansive archive of historic materials. Included in the database are hundreds of treaties, treaty-related publications, tribal codes, constitutions, federal case law, government reports, scholarly works, and the entirety of Title 25 (Indians) of the U.S. Code and Code of Federal Regulations.

The database is listed alphabetically under the HeinONline collection, accessible via the Databases link on the Library website home page.
