This guide is being updated and is not fully functional (October 2022).
Welcome!
This guide is intended to support faculty and staff at Lane Community College in exploring issues of cultural competency. The resources were selected by librarian Claire Dannenbaum, primarily from the LCC Library catalog, for use in Faculty Professional Development (FPD) Faculty Inquiry Groups (FIGs). This is a very selective collection meant to inspire inquiry, and is not exhaustive. Use the linked subject terms throughout the guide to access all titles in the Library catalog with that heading.
Please email Claire with suggestions for resources you would like added, or for help in finding other resources not listed here. Ebooks and database articles require your L-number login to access from off-campus.
Please contact Adrienne Mitchell to learn more about FIGs and FPD at Lane.
