Access this database from off campus with the current passwords.

"The Sixties in America, an e-book encyclopedia, surveys the events and people of the 1960's, a turbulent decade that had a profound and lasting effect on the life and culture of the United States. It not only provides in-depth coverage of all aspects of the three major events of the 1960's that give the decade its distinctive character—the Civil Rights movement, the social revolution, and the Vietnam War—but also surveys important developments in the arts, science and technology, business and the economy, government and politics, and gender issues.

In addition, to impart a sense of what people were doing and thinking during the decade, the e-book looks at the most important people and events in the arts, media, music, and sports and covers the headline-grabbing news items of the period. Written with the needs of students and general readers in mind, the encyclopedia articles present clear discussions of the topics, explaining any terms and references that may be unfamiliar."
