Welcome to the landing page for the Engineering and Science Library. Here, you will find links to all of our subject guides for the university's applied and natural science programs.
The Engineering and Science Library has created a focused OMNI Collection to highlight our materials with a STEM: Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Indigenous focus. On the 5th floor of Douglas Library, near the Reference Collection, you will find a browsing collection for all STEM EDII resources.
The Linda Hall Library, located in Kansas City, is one of the world's foremost independent research libraries devoted to science, engineering, and technology. They have created a YouTube channel where they feature faculty lectures on a variety of interesting science topics. Some recent highlights include:
Black, Brown, Bruised

Drawing on narratives from hundreds of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous individuals, Ebony Omotola McGee examines the experiences of underrepresented racially minoritized students and faculty members who have succeeded in STEM. Based on this extensive research, McGee advocates for structural and institutional changes to address racial discrimination, stereotyping, and hostile environments in an effort to make the field more inclusive. The book provides searing accounts of racism inscribed on campus, in the lab, and on the job, and portrays learning and work environments as arenas rife with racial stereotyping, conscious and unconscious bias, and micro-aggressions. As a result, many students experience the effects of a racial battle fatigue-physical and mental exhaustion borne of their hostile learning and work environments-leading them to abandon STEM fields entirely.
