The University of Saskatchewan Library has announced the launch of the refreshed, re-designed I-Portal: Indigenous Studies Portal:
The I-Portal is a tool for faculty, students, researchers, and members of the broader community to access digital Indigenous studies resources, such as articles, e-books, theses, government publications, videos, oral histories, reports, and digitized archival documents and photographs. The redesigned I-Portal offers users increased functionality, improved search capabilities, and more intuitive and inclusive design.
First launched at USask in 2006, the I-Portal has grown from an initial collection of 6000 records to over 71,000 records. The I-Portal collection focuses primarily on Indigenous peoples of Canada, with a secondary focus on Indigenous peoples of the United States, Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand, and other areas of the world. Wherever possible, the I-Portal links to openly accessible resources.
