LGBT RC Intern Alumni Reflections: The Ins and Outs
Teresa Trout, Intern Class 2007-2008
 I am honored to share in the legacy of LGBT Resource Center interns. My time at the LGBTRC stands out so clearly to me because it changed me forever. My college years were a very rocky period in my life and I look back on that last year with incredible fondness because for the first time, I had my community and my home. It was a hard adjustment to leave UCSD when I didn't feel ready, but having the center to always go back to, no matter who came in or out, has always filled me with a sense of comfort. I am forever grateful for the work that we as interns do to help shape and create an amazing community of activists.

UCSD Library New LGBT Resource
 The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) launched a couple of weeks ago, providing access to a wide array of digitized material from American libraries, archives, museums and other cultural institutions. This resource is freely available online, so it doesn't technically count as a "new library resource" for UCSD. However, DPLA and similar digital repositories (including HathiTrust, Archive.org and Google Books) are important resources to keep in mind when you're looking for research material. You can often find items such as pamphlets, interviews, government reports, images and newsletters, in addition to full text books. Due to copyright restrictions, much of what you'll find in these free online collections are older titles. Because of that, you'll need to be creative with keyword searches: "queer" may not be as useful as "homosexual" when looking for documents from many years ago. Most of the repositories provide a variety of ways to focus a search to a specific type of media, language, date and so on. If you need assistance, though, feel free to contact the Library for help or suggestions for other resources.
