The Key Resources for Anthropology pages are being redesigned on the LibGuides platform to take advantage of Web 2.0 features such as email alerts, catalog and databases searching, integration with Facebook and social bookmarking, RSS feeds, podcasts, videos, polls, resource ratings, comments, and user submissions. Widgets providing access can be placed in courseware, weblogs, and other web communication sources.

Content will be migrated slowly over the course of this year. Let me know what you think and what you'd like to have available for your research.
