Extractions: University of West Florida Libraries Traditionally, African-American Studies has focused on the history of Black people in the United States. However, as reflected in the following sources, African-American Studies is highly interdisciplinary, and seeks to acquaint students with trends, issues, and forces that have shaped the Black experience in America. At the same time, such factors as cultural adaptation, institutional development, and group self-definition are examined, while surveying the contemporary status and condition of African-Americans. Many of the following indexes and abstracts, although they are multidisciplinary in scope, contain a wealth of information germane to African-Americans.

Extractions: Women's hockey star earns Giant Steps Award By Meghan Erica Irons Kathryn Waldo has never been one to let adversity get her down. A sufferer of the congenital disease cystic fibrosis, Waldo has faced her health problems head on by going out on the ice and excelling as a member of the Northeastern women's hockey team. At a private White House ceremony today, President Bill Clinton will recognize Waldo's achievements with a Giant Steps Award for being a courageous student-athlete on and off the ice. "I think she's done a terrific job as a player," said women's hockey coach Heather Linstad. "She's accomplished a lot in the classroom. We sometimes take it lightly how severe her illness is because she takes it lightly. We don't realize how serious it is. But she deserves this award." The White House ceremony today is part of the 11th annual National Student-Athlete Day, which acknowledges the accomplishments of student-athletes from around the country. Giant Steps Awards, sponsored by Northeastern's Center for the Study of Sport in Society, will also be given to parents, teachers, coaches and academic institutions for making it possible for athletes to achieve their goals in sports, education and their careers. Born with cystic fibrosis, a life-threatening disease for which there is no known cure and for which the life expectancy is about age 20, Waldo has been defying the odds on the ice hockey rink. The 21-year-old secondary education major and junior forward from Cross Plains, Wisc., helped to lead the Huskies to the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference title in 1996 and was instrumental in helping the women's hockey team capture the Beanpot that year with a 4-3 overtime victory against Boston College.
Extractions: Collections Overviews Home Master List of Collections Overviews Scope Size General Research Strengths Areas of Distinction ... Weaknesses/Exclusions This overview focuses on the Library's holdings of materials by and about African-Americans. The study of African-Americans (persons of African heritage in the United States) is not just a subset of American studies, but also requires the use of resources relating to the history and literature of Africa and other countries where black people have lived. The collections at the Library are organized in such a way that the African and Middle Eastern Division is responsible for resources relating to the African continent, and the Hispanic Division holds primary responsiibility for Afro-Caribbean resources. The resources represented at the Library include all formats: manuscripts, newspapers, serials, microform, motion pictures, and other genres. The absence of a special African-American collection impedes an accurate estimation of its size. Although no special count has been made of all the subject areas covered by African-American studies, we may roughly estimate the size of the collection at approximately 50,000 books and periodicals, based on a combined count of the African-American history and literature classes, and classes dealing with slavery and the slave trade, the Civil War, and civil rights.
