    Hi  ACRL AASLIG Members,

    Do any of you have some recommendations on open access research informational resources about African American Studies, Black Studies, Black Heritage, Black History?

    Hey, we have a LibGuide for OER resources. If you click the subject tab and go to AADS, you'll find quite a few resources.
