Anthropology - Guide Books

Resources

Anthropology is a discipline which looks deep into the past as well as the present, so each of these guidebooks is useful even though their publication dates indicate the current limit of their sources. When searching in NUcat, when you find a good title, go to the "Long View" mode and note the "subject headings"; conduct a new "subject" search, using the most relevant subject heading and add " -- bibliography." This will lead you to a listing of bibliographies on that subject.

Here are some guidebooks which are located in the Reference Department of the University Library.

Cultural anthropology : a guide to reference and information sources, by Josephine Z. Kibbee. Englewood, Col.: Libraries Unlimited, 1991. Ref 016.301 K46c
