The following quick-start guide has been created for CSUN students and researchers.

Description

Scope

The Anthropological Index Online is based on the journal holdings of The Anthropology Library at the The British Museum (Museum of Mankind) which receives periodicals in all branches of anthropology, from academic institutions and publishers around the world.

YEARS OF COVERAGE

1950s through 1997. You must click the year or years to be searched. "All years" is an option. The choice of "Recent data" as a date will search the years since 1993, but most of the "Recent data" currently available is from 1997. There are very few citations for the years 1994, 1995, and 1996.

Restrictions & Requirements

The AIO database is freely available.
