__Summary of Collection__: The vision of the Harold Goldstein Library at Florida State University is to be the conduit between users and their worlds. The mission is to help bridge people with the information they need by providing resources, services and teaching by promoting learning and research related to Information Sciences. It features a book collection of 65,000 volumes, consisting of professional and reference materials as well as juvenile and easy  books. The library subscribes to more than 400 serials and journals and many online databases. __Quantitative__ In relation to immigration, there are 105 titles listed, and for immigrants, 130 titles, some which overlap with immigration. Among these there are mostly books, with some 2 VHS tapes, one map, and one CD set of 10 discs.  There are 56 titles associated with the Pura Belpré award in house. In relation to Young Adult and Children’s literature, there are 14 article databases, 5 eJournals, and one eBook resource (netLibrary). There are 24 online databases, many which include access to information on immigration. __Qualitative based on Information Power (p. 149, Bishop)__ Although the Goldstein library provides over one hundred titles involving immigrants or immigration, it is difficult to locate titles relating specifically to immigrants in Florida. The titles in house do provide intellectual, physical, and flexible access to information for ideas and learning. Resources are available after hours by providing off-campus access, inter library loan, and help tools. These tools promote active, authentic learning by providing a variety of formats and activities for linking information literacy with curricular objectives. (Bishop, 2007). __Internet and Intranet Tools__ Internet tools helpful for studying immigration and Latino Culture in particular include Barahona Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents ([|http://www.csusm.edu/csb/english/)] which allows users to explore books in Spanish for children and young adults, and Multicultural Resources for Children at [|http://falcon.jmu.edu/~ramseyil/multipub.htm.]
