Higher Education Resources
This page provides access to:
- A selection of current higher education e-books (if you would like to find older e-books, or books in print, please use the UNT Libraries Catalog)*,
- The Education Source database to locate current academic research in higher education, and
- A selection of web resources for transgender college students.
If you need help with your research, please contact the Women's and Gender Studies/LGBTQ Studies Librarian, Julie Leuzinger (she/her/hers).
NOTE: While we have tried to use inclusive language in this guide, if you notice anything that could be improved, please don't hesitate to contact us with suggestions.
*The UNT Libraries has access to additional education resources (such as juvenile literature and curriculum materials). However, given the focus of this resource guide, practical information for UNTs transgender student population, we chose to limit what is highlighted on this page to higher education resources.
