Collection Development and Strategies Department
You can use databases to easily find organized collections of articles, journals, news, streaming videos, primary sources, data, and more!
Here’s one of our favorite call-to-action databases.
What’s in it?
The Women and Social Movements collection brings together three databases on women in social movements from the 1600s to the present in the United States and the world. The collection includes Women and Social Movements in the United States, Women and Social Movements International since 1840, and Women and Social Movements in Modern Empires since 1820.
Why should you use it?
The collection is a great resource to see how women around the world have rallied in the past and present. For Women’s History Month this month, let’s celebrate their contributions and sacrifices.
Who should use it?
Students and faculty studying women and gender, political science, sociology, and other related disciplines, or anyone who wants inspiration.
Why use a database?
When you use a specific database, rather than a search engine or discovery tool, you often can find more relevant sources. For example, subject databases include sources about that subject only, rather than a general search engine or discovery tool that includes information about everything. This way you don’t have to wade through thousands of irrelevant results!
