SELECTED REFERENCE SOURCES IN ANTHROPOLOGY

LITERATURE GUIDES

Herron, Nancy L. (ed.), The Social Sciences: A Cross- Disciplinary Guide to Selected Sources. Colorado: Libraries Unlimited, 1989. OLIN Ref Z 7161 S675

This guide contains a detailed chapter on anthropology (pp. 144-158) by Joyce Ogburn. In addition to outlining the structure and nature of anthropological literature, the chapter provides annotated lists with concise descriptions of abstracts and indexes, dictionaries and encyclopedias, reviews and current literature, the Human Relations Area Files and online database resources.

Kibbee, Josephine Z., Cultural Anthropology: A Guide to Reference and Information Sources. Englewood, Colorado: Libraries Unlimited, 1991. OLIN Ref Z 5111 K46 1991

The major, most comprehensive literature guide for general anthropology with an emphasis on cultural anthropology. Provides citations and informative annotations on reference sources, including handbooks and manuals, bibliographies, indexes, databases, literature surveys and reviews, catalogs, dissertations, book reviews, conference proceedings, and employment and grant sources. Separate sections are focused on 12 subfields of anthropology, including physical, linguistic, medical, cognitive and urban anthropology, archaeology, and anthropology of women, among others. A separate chapter is devoted to anthropology and the humanities, including sections on art and material culture, ethnomusicology, folklore, and religion and mythology. Additional topics covered are visual anthropology and research methods and fieldwork. Kibbee's research guide can also be approached by area study; an extensive chapter on resources is organized into 7 geographic sections. Information is also provided about the HRAF, museums, archives, biography, organizations and institutes, and significant journals in the field of anthropology.

Weeks, John M., Introduction to Library Research in Anthropology. Boulder: Westview Press, 1991. OLIN Ref Z 5111 W39

A guide to research resources for the field of anthropology. Chapters are included on specific subject bibliographies, regional bibliographies, dictionaries, atlases, government documents, manuscripts and archives, dissertations, biography, book reviews, films, directories, Human Relations Area Files, and online databases. Coverage of cultural anthropology is better in Kibbee's guide; descriptions of the field of anthropology were taken from Ogburn's chapter in Herron's guide.

SPECIALIZED SUBJECT CATALOGS

Author and Subject Catalogues of the Tozzer Library [microform]: Formerly the Library of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University. Second enlarged edition. Boston, Massachusetts: G. K. Hall, 1988. OLIN Ref Z 5134 H33 1988

Contains a reproduction of the catalog of one of the largest collections on anthropology and archaeology in the world. International in scope, including publications from many countries, in several languages. Particular strength in the Americas. In addition to books, coverage includes articles in periodicals received by the library until 1983, festschriften, and conference proceedings. The catalog consists of 8 microfiche ring binders with a printed guide at the beginning of vol. 1. Vols. 1-4 contain author and title entries, including editors, translators and organizations as well as personal authors, and titles of journals, books and volumes in monographic series. Vols. 4-8 contain the subject index. Primary emphasis is on headings for ethnic groups, languages, archaeological sites and specific topics such as primate species; secondary emphasis is on geographical headings. Subject headings changed extensively in the 1970's to reflect radical changes in the field of anthropology. A complete list of headings is in the Tozzer Library Index to Anthropological Subject Headings, 2nd. rev. ed., 1981 which is shelved before the Tozzer Catalog.

NOTE: Continued and updated by the Bibliographic Guide to Anthropology and Archaeology (see below) and Anthropological Literature (see "Index" section).

A short pamphlet on how to use HRAF for cross-cultural research. Includes information on sampling, measurement and analysis. Not a good source for teaching basic use of HRAF.

HRAF. Ann Arbor, Mich.: University Microfilms International, 1975 - . OLIN Ref Microforms Microfiche set 887

A collection on microfiche of primary source materials, including books, journal articles, dissertations, unpublished field reports and translations on selected cultures or societies, both 'primitive' and contemporary, from all over the world. The intention is eventually to represent all major areas; currently many cultures are not covered. Subject access is provided by an alpha-numeric coding system based primarily on geographical area and cultural groups, subdivided by cultural traits. (See Murdock's Outline of World Cultures and Outline of Cultural Materials).

Each document has been examined sentence by sentence and coded for information on cultural traits. Copies of relevant text segments appear under every relevant code in the file. If not available in the Library's general collections, the complete text of many documents is also available in the file for each cultural group under code #116. Bibliographic citations and abstracts of each document are under code #111.

NOTE: The HRAF Index on microfiche, in the beginning of the file, is arranged by cultural trait codes; it indicates which cultural groups have information on each trait in the file, enabling HRAF to be approached, initially, by topic instead of by cultural group.

HRAF Source Bibliography: Cumulative. New Haven: Human Relations Area Files, 1976 - . OLIN Ref Microforms Microfiche set 887 Bibliography

Organizes the peoples and cultures of the world by ethic origin and assigns each group a unique classification number which provides access to HRAF. For example, the 'Central Thai' code = AO7. Many cultures listed in the Outline are NOT yet covered in HRAF; codes for cultures that are covered have been circled in pencil in the copy of the outline in the microform guide section.

Murdock, George Peter. Outline of Cultural Materials. 5th ed. New Haven: Human Relations Area Files, 1987. OLIN Ref GN 345.1 O94 1987; also in OLIN Ref Microforms Microfiche set 887 Outline 1 1987
