Experts present proven methods and techniques for studying about or
in Africa
Research, Reference Services, and Resources for the Study of
Africa helps you steer clear of washouts, cave-ins, and dead ends
on the road to successful research on--or in--Africa. This
one-of-a-kind research guide presents practical solutions to
frequently occurring problems in the study of Africa, including
Internet accessibility problems, errors that will affect a "known
item" search, the imposition of colonial legacy, and dealing with
gender and class bias. Unlike most references on Africa that
concentrate on collection development, this unique book focuses on
the study of Africa, making it a must-have for academic librarians,
Africanist scholars, and Africana librarians.
Specialists, generalist librarians, and end users all depend on
tools designed to provide access to information in libraries and on
the web including OPACs databases, and search engines. In this
book, these tools, research methods, and the accessibility of
information on Africa are examined, offering students and
professionals a thorough guide to the most successful researching
route.
Research, Reference Services, and Resources for the Study of
Africa provides assistance in the research process according to a
variety of categories including: evaluating OPACs and similar
databases for known-item searching using keywords, subject
headings, bias, indexing, full-text searching, terminology,
cataloguing, user-centered information services, and other search
strategies to find what you are looking for using Internet
resources to your advantage using the partnerships between the U.S.
and African libraries and scholarly institutions to help improve
information access using techniques for reference librarians to act
as a force increasing women's roles in the study of Africa and much
more Research, Reference Services, and Resources for the Study of
Africa offers all the information necessary to avoid research
hang-ups that affect the study of Africa, and the necessary
information to pass these skills on to students.
