McCain Library recently added the following academic databases to our list of resources. We are excited to offer these amazing resources to students and faculty for research and personal interest.
For a complete list of academic databases subscribed to by McCain Library, you can click here.
Feminist Periodicals
Feminist Periodicals is an open access repository of digitized contents pages of 150 academic journals and pop culture magazines for researchers and scholars to view what is currently being published in the fields of Feminism, Gender and Women’s Studies, Sexuality Studies, and LGBTQIA+ Studies. Since many international and grassroots titles are not indexed in standard sources, Feminist Periodicals is the best key to their contents. Feminist Periodicals is made available through the Office of the Gender and Women’s Studies Librarian at the University of Wisconsin.
Independent Voices (An Open Access Collection of an Alternative Press)
Independent Voices is an open access digital collection of alternative press newspapers, magazines and journals, drawn from the special collections of participating libraries. These periodicals were produced by feminists, dissident GIs, campus radicals, Native Americans, anti-war activists, Black Power advocates, Hispanics, LGBT activists, the extreme right-wing press and alternative literary magazines during the latter half of the 20th century.
Religious Magazine Archive
A searchable archive of magazines devoted to religious topics, spanning 19th-21st centuries. The publications were originally written by/for a wider populace rather than academic/cultural elites and offer insights into, for example, the influence of belief systems on public life, the history of popular religious movements and the means used by religions to gain adherents and communicate their ideologies. A wide variety of religions and denominations are represented, allowing for comparative studies of religions during this period.
