#online database

[brunhielda]

Would you like to take a few moments to feel very powerful?

Go to the website of your local library.

Find their online resources- for my library it is under “resources”, then “online partners.”

First of all, there is likely an online digital library that is far larger than any one building could hold- you’re welcome.

But what WE are looking for is something that mentions “periodicals.”

Look for “Marvel.” Look for “EBSCO” look for “Explora.” Any of those will do, and I am sure other areas have other names for their search engines.

The point is you click over and find yourself looking at a database for encyclopedias, magazines, articles, journals and more. A research database.

My dude- my literate civilians- my people who thirst for knowledge-

This is holding the collective academic knowledge of the world in your hands.

I am currently looking at the US census for my county, with another tab open to collegiate scientific papers.

Like- this is ALL the stuff they say is behind paywalls and hidden behind the absolute JUNK Google spits out.

I’m pretty sure I can-

Would you look at that? 😁

New York Times- articles in the last couple weeks, from US and international versions (see pic below- check the dates)

They opened up to full text, with related articles from other publications on a list to the side.

THIS is the power they are hiding from you, and why they are slashing funding to Libraries.

I have not felt so powerful since college, when I had easy access to research databases like this.

You know… I don’t think I could even get to as much then????

Go use your library! Gain knowledge! Fight Power!

You’re welcome. ☺️

Although there is a wealth of literature on shadow libraries, none of this have focused on its potential role in knowledge dissemination, through the open access movement.

The Racial Slur Database

Ok, I know it may seem like a weird resource to share, but bear with me.

Some people, such as myself, aren’t interested in calling people slurs, meaning we aren’t the most familiar with derrogatory terms. So what do you do if you’re reading or watching something and a term comes up that you know is supposed to be derogatory but you don’t know to who or why the term might exist?

Or what do you do if you’re a writer and you have a racist character but don’t know what term they might use?

Or what if you wanna check if something is a slur or ok to say?

Or maybe you just want to educate yourself to better be able to pick out the racists in the crowd or are wondering where a racist term might come from.

Now you have somewhere you can look.

How it works:

It breaks down slurs by nationality, regional area, and ethnicity (e.g. “Icelanders“, “Central Americans”, “Black Russians”) in alphabetical order.

They also have some religions as well, such as “Jewish”, “Amish”, “Mormons”, and “Hindus”.

They also have a special section listing words related to immigrants as a whole regardless of race.

The entries have the slur, who it represents, and its reasoning/origin, and often include slurs used in other languages as well.
