Resources for Black History Month, National Heart Month

Two new Special Reports from one of our online databases, Newsbank, are now available. Find Newsbank on the library website by clicking on the "Find Articles" link and then on "A-Z List of Online Resources." Newsbank can then be found under "N."

The BLACK HISTORY MONTH Report contains information about culture, key people and their accomplishments, important issues and events, the civil rights movement and more.
This site is an excellent resource for tracing the history of blacks and learning about their contributions to the world.

The World Health - National Heart Month Report raises the awareness of issues related to heart disease and preventative measures. Included are articles about nutrition, exercise, treatment and other related topics. This site also contains information on health issues around the world.

Both reports contain articles, pictures, related maps and links to web sites. Suggested search terms to help locate additional information in your NewsBank products are listed to encourage further research. All articles are easily accessed and can be printed or e-mailed from within the Report.

These Special Reports are accessible from the left side bar at the Newsbank website.
