Anti-racism resources

Start by thinking about a particular aspect of this topic to focus on. For example, are you wanting academic resources on Black Lives Matter, books on anti-racism in general, decolonization of curriculum?

• Identify the main concepts in your research topic and do some preliminary brainstorming to come up with a list of related keywords. Google can be useful in this regard because it suggests keywords related to your search query. Check out this list of keywords from Red River College Library to start brainstorming.

Next, connect your keywords in a way that tells the library's Discovery search tool or library databases exactly what to search and find. The search terms (keywords you use to search) are what determine the results you get.
