Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO), US, has announced that information designed to explore the broad dimensions of class, race and gender within the Chicano and Latino U.S. experience is now available through EBSCOhost. The Chicano Database, a bibliographic index formerly available via First Search from OCLC, furthers research, teaching and scholarship for Chicano studies programmes and broader ethnic studies curricula.
Produced by the Ethnic Studies Library at the University of California, Berkeley, the Chicano Database content includes nearly 60,000 records from more than 2,400 journals and other resources including newspapers, books and book chapters. The database provides extensive depth with coverage dating back to the 1960s and selective indexing dating back to the early 1900s. Chicano Database also includes The Spanish Speaking Mental Health Database covering psychological, sociological and educational literature.
The expansive content in Chicano Database enables subject coverage to be wide-ranging in scope - including art, bilingual education, education, labor, literature, mental health, law, poetry, politics and sociology.
