New Resource: Black Thought and Culture

by beth 2/6/2009 4:37:00 PM

 We recommend exploring Black Thought and Culture, a great new electronic resource and our pick for Black History Month.  Black Thought and Culture provides approximately 100,000 pages of books, essays, articles, speeches, and interviews written by leaders within the black community from the earliest times to the present.

This resource is uniquely designed for research in black studies, political science, American history, music, literature, and art. Included in the collection are the works of Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. De Bois, Martin Luther King, Jr., and the full run of the Black Panther newspaper.

Web browser bookmarks and favorites are great...until you switch computers.  What if you could always find your bookmarks no matter what computer you happen to be using? Favorite links are always a few clicks away if you save them to delicious.


delicious (formerly called del.icio.us) is a free social bookmarking service that allows you to save, organize, and share web favorites.  After creating an account, you can import your existing browser bookmarks or start saving new ones right away.  You can also tag your favorites, and organize them into tag "bundles," making them easier to find. Take a look at this example to get a better idea of how tags and tag bundles work:
