Below are links to search results. In each case I did at least one thing wrong, which is why they yield zany results.
- I want books about the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Why does the catalog give me so many results?
- I want historic books (primary sources) about Zimbabwe published between ww1 and ww2. In HathiTrust I conduct a Title search & limit results to publications 1919-1939. Why are there so few?
- I searched Africa* AND "Nation building" as a subject search in the library catalog and found ~30 excellent books. The same search brings up a bunch of articles in Historical Abstracts, the topics of which are all over the place. Why?
- I want articles about pan-Africanism.. I conducted a Title search for pan-Africanism and limited the search to peer reviewed articles in the main library catalog. Why are there so many off-topic results?
- I really want to read Independence and Pan-African Diplomatic Contestation: Anti-colonial Nationalism and the Eclipse of White Legitimacy in 'British Central Africa', 1957-64 but WM Libraries doesn't have this journal. I guess I'll pay $50 for access, or maybe download it (and some viruses?) from a shady website with a .click or .jetzt domain name.
- I found this really interesting journal article on Pan-Africanism published by Oxford. Should I cite it as a research article in the final project?
