The Discovery search box operates best when used with keywords. A way to start:
- Search "people group" (African Americans) and "discrimination" or "prejudice"
- Add a specific institution to the above search: "educational discrimination" "media portrayal"
- Some types of discrimination and prejudice have specific terms of their own:
- Anti-Semitism= Jewish discrimination
- Red-lining/Gerrymandering- housing and voting discrimination, usually around African American communities, but now more encompassing to all minorities
- Affirmative Action- used in education and employment to ensure balanced and representative staff or student body
- Think about other terms you have encountered in your class
Tools in the Discovery search include:
- Filters on the left for source type, specific subject, and year of publication
- Saving, emailing, and citing
