Abstract

The University of Pittsburgh's Library System (ULS) holds vast resources on African American and Black Studies which are available to the university community. Through this presentation "University Library System Resources for Black History Month," faculty librarians Catherine Baldwin and Kim Bailey share the many layers of ULS holdings including: LibGuides, Databases, Journals, Special Collections, and Interactive Events.
Specific items are explored to convey the richness of resources suited to faculty teaching and student research.
Highlights include “The Freedom’s Journal,” a newspaper available through the database “African American Newspapers: The Nineteenth Century.” Photos of Erroll Garner, jazz pianist; August Wilson, playwright; and Duane Jones, actor, also illustrate the historical value of the archived collections. Pathways to resources are explained and current events are shared, including the African American Read-In and the Black History Month Virtual Film Series; both of which are collaborations between the ULS and the PittEd Justice Collective. This presentation can be utilized to enhance faculty and student interest in utilizing ULS resources and librarians to further research and scholarship.
