This page is designed to serve several related purposes:

It seeks to enhance and simplify the library research projects of anthropology students at the University of Alabama...

• by suggesting a search strategy for locating materials relevant to cultural anthropology at the UA libraries (Click on Search Strategy button);

• by listing a wide variety of anthropological reference materials held by the UA libraries (Click on Library Research button);

• by providing the names, call numbers and runs of anthropological journals and periodicals available in the collections of the UA libraries (Click on UA Serials button).

It introduces the UA student to anthropological resources on the Internet by providing a jump station to Web sites that are particularly useful for anthropologists. The jump station is desgined with the novice in mind and is divided up into sections on Internet Basics, Internet Directories, Interesting Anthropology Sites, Regional Studies, Maps, and sites of Local Interest.

It may prove useful to students beyond Alabama who wish to conduct basic library research in Anthropology.
