ENG 366: Black and Multiethnic Literature (Peters, Fall 2025)

NoveList

NoveList is a database that helps readers find books they like by browsing by genres and other criteria, such as plot and character type. We can use this database to select by age group and then by other categories to find books with multicultural content. We can also browse by various award winning books for different ethnic groups.

Note: If the University Library does not own a title you are interested in, check with your local public library for print or ebook holdings, or contact me, and I can check whether we are able to purchase it as an ebook.
