World bibliographical series: [Africa]. Santa Barbara, Calif.; Oxford:
ABC-Clio, 1979-. v.3-. (In Progress).
"A monographic series that, for many African countries, is one of the
best places for nonspecialists to begin research. A few early volumes were
more comprehensive and intended for scholars, but since 1981, the series has
been oriented toward English-speaking general readers. Volumes follow a standardized
format, beginning with a historically-based overview essay, followed by topical
sections containing annotated citations. Recent monographic publications are
favored over older, briefer works. Volumes end with a dictionary index, an
outline map, and sometimes a chronology." (Guide to Reference Books,
11th Edition, no. DD18) Note: For titles in this series please search for individual country

SML Reference Z3509 +I58
A photoreproduction of a card index maintained at the Institute Library of
books and articles on Africa from 1929-1972. The index was originally published
quarterly from 1929- 1970 in the journal Africa and in 1971 and 1972
as a separate bulletin, International African Bibliography, from the
Institute. The bibliography is based on the Institute's collection, and the
emphasis in the earlier years is on ethnography and languages; the more recent
material covers the entire field of African studies. The first two volumes
contain author entries, and the other three are a classified arrangement by
geographical area, subdivided by discipline.
