The GLBTSS Library contains over 1,600 items, including fiction
and non-fiction books, documentary videos, and feature films. While
we have a wide variety of items useful in research topics, we also
have plenty of items just for entertainment.
We also have a TV and VCR in the office so you can watch videos
during your breaks. Students, faculty, and staff at MSCD, UCD, CCD,
and AHEC can check out up to two videos for one week, and books
can be checked out for two weeks. There is no limit on the number
of books, but we do ask that you limit the number of items checked
out so we can all enjoy this resource. Previously checked out items
need to be returned before checking out new items.
In addition to our library items, we have many resources you can
enjoy in our office. We regularly receive Out Front, Diverse City,
Weird Sisters West, Pride Guide, The Source, Out Magazine, and we
have a wide variety of up-to-date resource files covering topics
such as gay marriage and Amendment 2 for you to use for your research
projects.
If you can't find what you're looking for in our office, the Auraria Library is connected
to a database called "GLBT Life" which indexes literature
regarding Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Transsexual issues.
Comprehensive coverage includes traditional academic, lifestyle,
and regional publications, as well as non-periodical content such
as non-fiction books, bibliographies and dissertations. Disciplines
include athletics, health, law, sociology, family, religion, civil
liberties, employment and entertainment.
