With the growth in interest in ethnographic materials, this is an
essential publication for large public libraries serving patrons
with interests in anthropology and art. Choice This indispensable
directory of data on serials that contain information relevant to
the study of ethnoart fills a gap long perceived by scholars of the
indigenous arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, an area of
academic focus in which reference materials have been generally
lacking. Culled from a database developed by compiler Eugene C.
Burt to track potentially useful periodicals in connection with his
publication, Ethnoarts Index, the volume is designed to aid those
with an interest in ethnoart in determining which serial
publications best suit their research needs. In the main directory
users can find information on former titles, publisher, editorial
focus, content features, and a relevancy rating on each of almost
700 individual serial titles that have an editorial focus related
to ethnoart. Nine separate appendices list recommended titles in
various categories as well as serials that include indexing,
bibliographic or abstracting services, ceased titles, and more.
Titles include publications from the fields of art history,
anthropology, history, area studies, librarianship, museum studies,
and general interest magazines. Prefatory material explains the
book's organization and the rationale for its recommendations and
is followed by the major portion of the volume, the database of
serials arranged alphabetically by title. In each entry more than
20 categories of information are provided including an assigned
relevancy rating that rates the level of relevancy of a publication
to ethnoart based on the frequency that ethnoart-oriented articles,
reviews, etc. appear. Several indices make collection development
recommendations based on the relevancy ratings, with approximate
cost information. Additional appendices list titles by country of
publication, relevant ceased titles, and more. Finally, a unique,
rotated-keyword-in-title index that includes subtitles and former
titles provides easy access to the main database. All of this
information will be welcomed by librarians, scholars, collectors,
dealers, curators, and students of ethnoart. Highly recommended for
librarians building ethnoart collections; for university libraries
where courses on any aspect of ethnoart are taught; and for
libraries of museums and research institutions with an interest in
ethnoart.
