HERMANN MEMORIAL LIBRARY -- SULLIVAN COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE BLACK HISTORY MONTH SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF TITLES FROM OUR PRINT COLLECTIONS AND FROM EBRARY The following bibliography is a sampling from our collections of the broad range of work by and about African Americans reflecting their immeasurable importance in our history and culture. It includes reference books, and circulating books.. The bibliography is not a checklist of books on display in the exhibition, but each is intended to complement the other. Many more books than are listed here can be found in our Sullivan Catalog. Full-text articles in magazines, journals and newspapers can be accessed from our Subscription Periodical Databases. A librarian will be glad to show you how to search these tools. Our own paper periodical collections include many titles of especial relevance to Black studies, as well as general interest magazines which cover Black issues. See our separately issued Periodical List. Books by and about Martin Luther King have been published in another bibliography available in this library.
