October is Women’s History Month in Canada…

and what better place to celebrate than at the Library@Mohawk where you can find lots of related resources! This year’s theme, as set by Status of Women Canada is “Women in the Lead: Winter Sports” in recognition of the Olympic & Paralympic games coming to Vancouver in 2010. So how can the Library@Mohawk help you celebrate?

> Check out the vast collection of books on women’s history by searching the catalogue! We’ve pulled together a special collection of items on the history of women & sport using the bookbag feature. What’s the bookbag feature, you ask? It’s a tool that lets you collect  items to share with others. Stay tuned to the BRAIN_blog and we’ll tell you all about it!

> Take The Hamilton Spectator for a whirl for local stories about women’s history – there’s a 5 year backfile!

> Give Canadian Points of View a try – this database features a section on “Women’s Issues” (as well as many other topics useful for essay writing!)

Happy Women’s History Month!
