Tips on Searching for Books on African Nations and Culture

Search Terminology - Keywords and Subject Headings

When conducting research, always consider alternative keywords and subject headings for your topic. Begin by analyzing your topic or research question, and break it down into its key concepts. What keywords appear? Are there alternative keywords that come to mind?
 

For this course, keywords may include: African culture; African art; African music; African life; names of countries; specific topics related to the broad themes

Subject headings may include: Art, Africa; Africa - Social Conditions; Music, Africa; Popular Culture - Africa; add names of countries (Music, Ghana)

When you discover a book of interest, select the "DETAILS" tab, and then the "FULL RECORD" tab to look at the assigned subject headings for that item. Note related subject headings, and click on them to find other books that are described in a similar way, and may prove useful.
