[Jennifer Maurer]

Hi,

National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated September 15th through October 15th. Julie Pepera, a Gale trainer, voluntarily sent a list of some of the resources available in the Gale databases that can help with related studies or projects. (Thanks, Julie!)

Here's one suggestion for using the info from Julie. Some libraries feature a different database every month. If your library will celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month, perhaps ¡Informe! could be featured.

These websites also have good information and resources about the subject.
           http://hispanicheritagemonth.gov/ (Explore each column on the homepage. Info is from Library of Congress, National Archives, & more.)
           http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/hispanic/index.htm (kid-friendly site)
           http://www.biography.com/hispanic-heritage/index.jsp (bios, trivia game, & more)

FYI,
Jen
