February is Black History Month and Grasselli Library is highlighting items from its collections. If you need help locating any of the print or online sources or in viewing the streaming videos, contact a reference librarian at x4234.

The Encyclopedia Britannica's Guide to Black History presents a vast array of articles, hundreds of images, and a wide assortment of multimedia clips. This guide traces two millennia of Black history, and the browse features enable you to pinpoint the central people, places, topics, and events covered in Black History. This Spotlight has biographies on people such as Alvin Ailey, Matthew Henson, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Hank Aaron. In addition, there is a subject browse that allows the user to look up people, places, issues, and events based on topic.

Grasselli Library's African-American Studies Resource Page , compiled and maintained by Grasselli Library librarian Jie Zhang, lists many excellent resources that support study and research on Black history and other topics in African-American studies.

Lastly, OhioLINK's Online Digital Video Collection contains the highly-acclaimed PBS series "Slavery and the making of America," and a number of other films of interest to students of African-American history.
