UK Disability History Month

We have recently added the Every Voice: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)  eBook collection to our subscription of eBooks from eBook Central. 

The DEI eBook subscription includes thousands of titles from sought-after publishers all over the world. Its interdisciplinary content is curated to represent all voices and delve deeply into topics of race, gender, religion, gender and sexuality, disability, poverty and many more.

It gives access to diverse and award-winning content highlighting smaller publishers and diverse authors. Plus, the majority of titles were published in the past 10 years.

You can find the resources by using Library Search or from the eBook Central website.

To help celebrate UK Disability History Month we have collated a number of resources.

Some of these we have recently purchased as part of Library Unlimited,  others are new content within systems we subscribe to.
