New Anthropology Databases Now Available via EBSCOhost
EBSCO Publishing added three new anthropology databases to the EBSCOhost platform. Anthropological Index, Anthropological Literature, and Anthropology Plus, cover the fields of anthropology, archaeology, and related interdisciplinary research. The three databases were formerly available from OCLC First Search.Published by the Royal Anthropological Institute, Anthropological Index contains information from a broad geographical range, emphasizing the Commonwealth and Africa, and extending to Eastern Europe, the Americas, Asia, Australasia, and the Pacific. The database indexes periodicals covering the fields of physical anthropology, archaeology, cultural ethnography, and linguistics. Anthropological Literature is published by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University and indexes articles, reports, commentaries, and obituaries found in nearly 700 journals and monographic series. More than 600,000 citations are included in this resource covering articles published from the early 19th century to the present, in more than 50 languages. Anthropology Plus is a compilation of Anthropological Index and Anthropological Literature. This broad and rich resource provides extensive indexing of journal articles, reports, commentaries, edited works, and obituaries in the fields of social, cultural, physical, biological, and linguistic anthropology, ethnology, archaeology, folklore, material culture, interdisciplinary studies, etc. Source: EBSCO Publishing
