More new databases...

The CBC Library has gained access to two new databases from Yale University:

eHRAF World Cultures: The eHRAF World Cultures is a cross-cultural database that contains information on all aspects of cultural and social life. The annually-growing eHRAF database is unique in that the information is organized by cultures and ethnic groups and the full-text documents are subject-indexed at the paragraph level.

eHRAF Archaeology: eHRAF Archaeology is a cross-cultural database containing information on prehistory. This unique, annually-growing eHRAF database is organized by archaeological traditions and the full-text documents are subject-indexed to the paragraph level.

Both of these databases are produced by the Human Relations Area Files, Inc. (HRAF) at Yale University. They are available until Dec. 31, 2008. If you are on-campus, you have access. Off-campus...not so much

We've already heard how great the Archaeology one is -- please continue to let us know that you think!
