A Guide to African Studies: Start

Spring 2021 reference (research) help:

• Chat with a librarian (M-Th 10:30-4:30; Friday 10:30-2:30)
• E-mail: folke@gustavus.edu (please include your name and the best way to contact you)

African Studies is an interdisciplinary field, one that supports research in a range of topics related to Africa and people of African descent.  The resources on this guide are intended to provide a grounding in library resources & research techniques available in our library, as well as facilitate access to materials elsewhere.

This guide is a starting point; don't hesitate to ask a librarian for further assistance.
