Access to souces - NB Each source is partial - UKC catalogue does not list books not held in UKC Library and so on...
eg
SOAS (via telnet). Note Netscape tells the computer to launch another program
COPAC a merge of many different UK library catalogues
Anthropological Index Online - hosted at UKC for the RAI, indexing the contents of journals of the Museum of Mankind Library in London
International Bibliography of Social Science indexing the contents of journals of the LSE Library
ISI Citation Indexes - US bias but very good NB Must search Social Science and Arts/Humanities Citation Indices separately since anthropology is split between them
Note for both of these last two need you login as "ukcant" pw= piano8forte (from on campus only - for access off campus you must ask the computer service for an individual id/pw.
