Robert Singerman is responsible for purchasing and managing materials in support of anthropology research in the libraries. Key Resources for Anthropology http://www.uflib.ufl.edu/cm/anthropology/ highlights the many electronic resources available through the UF Libraries.

Indexes to academic journals are listed on the Library Databases page, but some databases are available on the web without restriction, such as the Quarterly Index to Periodical Literature, Eastern and Southern Africa (which is compiled by the Library of Congress Office, Nairobi) and the Anthropological Index Online, an "Index to Current Periodicals in the Museum of Mankind Library (incorporating the former Royal Anthropological Institute library)."

Marina Salcedo, a UF anthropology alumnae, is currently a reference and instruction librarian. As a student assistant, she created a list of keywords used by the Anthropological Index. It remains a valuable tool for using this sometimes difficult resource, and has been incorporated into their website.

A third such index is the Africa bibliography. It includes two databases of journal citations relating to African women (general and travelers, explorers and missionaries), and a more general index that is quite extensive.

A few general, useful links for anthropology research:

• The American Anthropological Association site includes much useful information for professional anthropologists in the U.S.
• The British Institute in Eastern Africa provides information on research projects.
• Ethnic groups index of the Human Studies Film Archives at the National Museum of Natural History (Smithsonian Institution).
• See: Schwimmer, Brian . 1996. "Anthropology on the Internet: A Review and Evaluation of Networked Resources." Current Anthropology 37(3): 561 (June).
• Theory in Anthropology links to many resources for anthropologists, some with African content.
• Experience-Rich Anthropology "A consortium of UK universities led by CSAC developed "experience-based" teaching units over 3 years with the support of UK HEFCE funding under the FDTL program. This site contains information about the project and the units that have been developed."

See also our African ethnic groups and African languages pages for material specific to those areas.

Students in Rebecca Klein's Anthropology of Modern Africa course (Spring 2005) may refer to this handout on library resources for term paper research.
