LGBTQ+ Source: An Exclusive Database for LGBTQ+ Studies & Research

LGBTQ+ Source Homepage

The Jefferson Libraries are celebrating Pride Month this year by highlighting LGBTQ+ Source, a database available to all students, staff, and faculty. Here, you could find scholarly, popular, and historical sources on LGBTQ+ studies. Topics include, but are not limited to, gender identity, sexuality, gender equity, and more.

Comprised of full-text and open access journals along with an LGBTQ+ thesaurus with over 9,000 terms, LGBTQ+ Source provides all of the essentials to learning about the queer community. Some features of the database include first-person narrative videos of people in the LGBTQ+ community and TED Talks on LGBTQ+ studies.
