Books

  • To find anthropology books that are available in Blackwell Library and other libraries throughout the University System of Maryland, use the online catalog.  

Registered borrowers at SU may use the catalogs "hold" feature to order books from other libraries at no cost.  Books generally arrive within 3 - 4 weekdays.

  • To find books in libraries outside the Maryland system, search WorldCat, a catalog of books and other materials in more libraries worldwide.
 
  • Books not available through the online catalog can be ordered through Interlibrary Loan.  This service provides access to books in more than 8,000 libraries throughout the country.  However, delivery often takes several weeks and the lender may charge a fee.  Additional information is available on the Interlibrary Loan pages.

 


Databases

Because information relevant to cultural anthropology may be found in the literature of other disciplines, it is important to use several databases that seem likely to contain your topic.  Some of the most useful databases include:
