OMSA and VCU Libraries bring a Multicultural Collection to VCU
Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA) and VCU Libraries collaborate to develop a multicultural collection. This is a unique collection of popular or lower academic books and videos on the cultures of the various ethnic groups in the VCU community. The purpose is to offer materials that inform the VCU faculty, staff and students about the cultures of other nations. The collection is housed in the OMSA office and it is intended to make the center more welcoming and interactive. The records are represented in the VCU Library catalog with a location of "Multicultural Resource Center".
The collection so far covers but is not limited to the cultures of African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, Native American and some European. Currently, it is non-circulating. It is still a small collection but it is growing. You can browse the collection from the library catalog or visit the OMSA office to enjoy it. If you have any questions, please contact Napoleon Peoples or Ibironke Lawal.
