June is Pride Month!

Did you know in the library’s e-book collection there is a great title honoring this theme?

Out and Running: Gay and Lesbian Candidates, Elections, and Policy Representation
 Author: Donald P. Haider-Markel
 Publisher: Georgetown University Press, 2010

Out and Running presents an analysis of gay and lesbian candidates, elected officials, and policies in government institutions, especially at the state level. The author highlights a number of findings that focus on the strategies LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) candidates use when running for elected positions and also the government policies they help create favorable to their communities.

It is a timely resource for preparing for upcoming local, state, and national elections. This e-book is accessible remotely from off-campus with any device with internet access. Remember to log in with your mySWC username and Date of Birth for your password.

Come to the library to see more Pride Month-related titles on display.

Cheers!
