The following databases are newly acquired or being evaluated for a future subscription.
Labor and Employment: The American Worker brings together legislative histories on major legislation, briefs from Supreme Court cases, accounts of labor riots from the past, reports on working conditions of today, and more. Each title in the collection is assigned one more more subjects, which cover issues such as Pensions & Retirement, Employment Benefits, Workplace Protections and Discrimination, and Wages, and are browsable or searchable. Unique to this database is a chart of landmark court cases related to labor and employment law. This chart presents 24 landmark court cases, accompanied by their decision year and a brief synopsis of the case, centering its importance in both labor jurisprudence and history. While the majority of these cases were decided in the U.S. Supreme Court, it also contains selected influential state court cases. Cases range from 1842 to 2018.
Voting Rights & Election Law features thousands of titles on the electoral process: how elections are conducted, how votes are counted, how political campaigns are run and funded, and who is allowed to vote. Featuring content on historical and more recent elections, this database allows users to understand both how our current electoral system came to be as well as the context for proposals for changes. Editors assigned each title in the collection one or more unique title-level subjects. These subjects are: Absentee Voting, Ballots, Campaign Finance, Election Administration, Election Integrity, Election Outcomes, Election Reform, Electoral College, Federal Election Commission, Gerrymandering, Legislative Redistricting, Political Campaigns, Suffrage, Voter Identification, Voter Registration, and Voting Rights. These subjects are both browsable and searchable, allowing users to better target their research.
While presidential elections often receive the most attention, both in terms of study and in voter turnout, this collection focuses on issues relating to and directly about both local and federal elections—including presidential elections, but also encompassing House and Senate elections, as well as state elections. Included in this collection are titles on contested Senate results, debates on extending the vote to D.C. residents, analyses on apportionment and redistricting, and even a scandalous account of fraud in a municipal Indiana election in 1886. In addition to content about U.S. elections, users will also find hundreds of titles about elections around the world, from elections in Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.
