Libguide of the Week: Anthropology Created by Carina Cournoyer
|
This week, the Library would like to highlight the Anthropology Subject Guide created by Social Sciences Librarian Carina Cournoyer.
One of the great things about the Anthropology Subject Guide is the “New Titles” feed on the main page. The guide also does a great job highlighting various kinds of media related to Anthropology.
The Library is home to a number of Subject Guides geared to help students at all stages of their research process. If Anthropology isn’t your field be sure to visit the other Library Subject Guides.
