California Association of Research Libraries (CARL)
Diversity in Academic Libraries-South (DIAL-S)
Summer 2004 Event Announcement

Untapped Resources: DIAL-S visit to the Southern California Library for Social Studies and Research (SCL)

SCL is an untapped, vital, community centered resource in the heart of Los Angeles. A non-profit organization dedicated to education for social change, it houses collections of books, videos, subject files, archives, and periodicals. The collections reflect the history of labor, civil rights, women's, immigrants' and other grassroots movements. SCL staff will be on hand to guide us through their collections and give us a tour of "Louder than Words": Black Panther Exhibit, describe materials collected from their community history project "Generation to Generation: Making a Life in South Los Angeles, 1940-2005", exploring neighborhood cultural, religious and social life in South Los Angeles. This is a great opportunity to explore SCL's resources and recommend them to social science, history, ethnic studies, and archival students on our respective campuses.
