AFR 252: Francophone Africa: Find Articles

UNBISNet (United Nations Bibliographic Information System) - search engine to UN Documents with links to full text of many reports.

• to find the full text of an article in a database, click on the title for the full record, then look for the Find It! @ Wellesley button to link to the full text (online if available, or in print, or by Interlibrary loan request if we don't own the journal)
• to find the full text of an article from a print citation, use Article Locator (fill in the journal title, year, volume, issue, and pages if you have them)
• do your searching early and place interlibrary loan requests NOW for books and articles we don't have -- then, when you're ready to start reading and writing, you'll have a great selection of materials. If you wait, your choices will be very limited. 
• use synonyms to find all the ways your topic is expressed:  status or class or social position
• use truncation to save time: consum* for consumer, consumerism, etc. 
• combine multiple concepts using AND for best results
  
  example: car or vehicle or automobile
                 AND
                 status symbol or luxury or wealth

For searching with precision inside a particular subject area, try one of our databases.
