Background Literature Resources

Why use background or tertiary resources?

  1.  Learn important terms, notable scholars or works, and more information about a topic.
  2.  Bibliographies, further reading, and works cited sections can lead you to secondary sources you can use in your research.
  3.  It's a quick overview of a theme, work, author, or other topic, which can save you time!

Land Acknowledgement

Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' (the Cayuga Nation). The Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign Nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The Confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' people, past and present, to these lands and waters.

This land acknowledgment has been reviewed and approved by the traditional Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' leadership.
