The library provides several databases and other resources intended for a younger, school-age audience - ideal tools for teachers and school librarians in our K-12 Library Resources guide.

This guide to Open Educational Resources provides an overview of OER and identifies several of the most comprehensive sources for discovering and accessing materials. It is not intended to be exhaustive, and is strictly focused on resources that meet the above definition.

Government Documents at Allen Memorial Library include the publications of United States Federal Government agencies and the State of North Dakota government and agencies. You can find more information in our Government Documents guide.

What is Safe Zone Training The Safe Zone Project is an open source LGBTQ+ awareness training curriculum created in the early 2013 by Meg Bolger and Sam Killermann. They shared their work under an "uncopyright" license to allow use by a wide variety of groups without cost and for adaptation. The last update to the Safe Zone Project curriculum was in 2020. VCSU's Safe Zone training is built on the foundations of this curriculum with modifications and updates to keep up with the latest terminology. Safe Zone trainings can be offered for students or employees.
