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.
