Each month, one of our Subject Librarians will choose an electronic resource which they feel will be of interest to you.

April’s Resource of the Month has been selected by Sarah Rhodes, Subject Consultant for International Development, Forced Migration, African and Commonwealth Studies.

Sarah’s choice is Border and Migration Studies Online. This is a recent subscription and was chosen because it provides resources, representing both personal and institutional perspectives, for the growing fields of border(land) studies and migration studies.

Resource Overview

Border and Migration Studies Online is a collection that explores and provides historical background on more than thirty key worldwide border areas, including: U.S. and Mexico; the European Union; Afghanistan; Israel; Turkey; The Congo; Argentina; China; Thailand; and others. Featuring at completion 100,000 pages of text, 175 hours of video, and 1,000 images, the collection is organized around fundamental themes associated with border and migration issues including: border identities and disputes; human trafficking; undocumented and unauthorized migration; and global governance of migration.

Where can you access the resource

Border and Migration Studies Online is available to access via SOLO. A Single-Sign-On (SSO) is required to access this database, so access is restricted to Oxford University students and staff members
