Information Resources
You can take the librarian out of the library, but once a librarian always a librarian (or something like that). These resource collections are designed for librarians, researchers, students, volunteers or any others who are interested in access to information.
Check out my list of over 100 databases, browsable by type, subject, and language. The resources listed include a variety of academic databases and other information resources. All the resources listed here offer at least some free or Open Access content. |
Library Development These resources, including downloadable books and manuals, provide information about setting up and running community and school libraries in a variety of settings. |
Media Studies Journals This is a working list of Open Access journals focused on media studies and related topics such as communication, film and cinema, comics, games, television, genre studies, digital cultures, and more. |
Sources for Book Donations These organizations provide donated books to community and school libraries around the world. The organizations listed here are organized according to geographic region served. |
Language Guides
Some very widely-spoken language, and a couple of more obscure languages. For the more widely-spoken languages, the guides aim to primarily feature free and Open Access language learning resources. For the less common language, I will aim to be more comprehensive.
Chinese (Mandarin) Mandarin or "Standard" Chinese is spoken by over one billion people in mainland China. Chinese is one of the six official languages of the UN. |
Mongolian Mongolian is a unique language native to the Mongolian Plateau and spoken in all of Mongolia, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China, and parts of Russia. |
Samoan Samoan is a Polynesian language spoken in the Samoan islands including Western Samoa and American Samoa. Samoan is closely related to other Polynesian languages such as Hawaiian and Māori. |
Spanish Spanish is a Romance language native to the Iberian Peninsula. Today, Spanish is widely spoken throughout the Americas due to the legacy of Spanish colonialism. Spanish is one of the six official languages of the UN. |

Topic Bibliographies
These bibliographies include suggested reading, relevant texts and academic journals, organizations and networks, and other resources related to selected interdisciplinary areas of special interest. While many of these texts I have indeed read or cited myself, I have also included other resources that have caught my eye (and may be on my personal TBR pile).
