Physical Anthropology Literature: Online Access

Abstract

Online bibliographic databases are currently available for a wide range of disciplines. At the present time, however, there is no online database devoted specifically to anthropological literature. The field of anthropology is generally divided into four sub‐fields: social and cultural anthropology; archeology; anthropological linguistics; and physical anthropology, or bioanthropology. Anthropologists in these four subfields represent a very wide range of subject interests, and the field as a whole places strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research. As a result, it is sometimes possible to perform satisfactory computerized literature searches using databases which cover the literature of related disciplines.
