Accessing Ebooks and Databases

You may need a login and password to access the Ebooks and databases posted here. Click on the passwords button at the top of the page for a list of database passwords.

If you need the password for the passwords page, please contact a librarian (but remember visual hint first!).

Something else to keep in mind is to search using historical terms for the movements. For example, Latinx is the current term, but during the 1960s the term was Chicano movement.
