Van Doorn ii EDITORIAL POLICY African Studies Abstracts Online provides an overview of articles from periodicals and edited works on sub-Saharan Africa in the field of the social sciences and the humanities available in the African Studies Centre library. Coverage African Studies Abstracts Online covers edited works (up to 50 in each issue) and a wide range of journals in the field of African studies. Some 240 journals are systematically scanned. Just over half of these are English-language journals, just under a quarter are French, and most of the rest are German. A few Afrikaans, Dutch, Italian and Portuguese-language journals are also covered. Some 40 percent of all the journals are published in Africa. Newspapers and weeklies, popular magazines and current affairs bulletins, statistical digests, directories, annual reports and newsletters are, with rare exceptions, not scanned. Articles from journals published in Africa and from leading Africanist journals published outside the continent are provided with abstracts. Articles from other journals, including journals on North Africa, are catalogued and indexed without abstracts. All articles are included in the African Studies Centre Library OPAC at http://opc4-ascl.pica.nl/DB=3/LNG=EN/ To be selected for abstracting/indexing an article must be at least two to three pages long, and have been published within the past two years (though some allowance is made for journals which have fallen behind on publication schedules or which, for whatever reason, have taken a long time to arrive). In a few specific cases, an article may be excluded on the grounds of subject. In particular, articles in the field of linguistics and those in the field of literature dealing with only one work are normally not selected. This also applies to purely descriptive articles covering current political events or economic developments, which could be expected to become quickly outdated, though this rule is applied less rigorously in the case of a country about which very little is otherwise published. Review articles and book reviews are not covered. Contents and arrangement In principle African Studies Abstracts Online is published four times a year. Each issue contains up to 450 titles with abstracts of collective volumes and journal articles. Items are numbered sequentially and arranged geographically according to the broad regions of Africa. There is a preliminary general section for entries whose scope extends beyond iii Africa, followed by a separate section for entries dealing with the continent as a whole. There is also a section for entries dealing with sub-Saharan Africa. Within the broad geographical regions of Northeast, West, West Central, East, Southeast Central and Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean islands, entries are arranged by country, and within each country, alphabetically according to author. Entries covering two countries appear twice, once under each country heading. Entries covering three or more countries are generally classified under the relevant regional heading. Each entry provides the conventional bibliographical information together with an abstract in the language of the original document. The abstract covers the essentials of the publication in 10-20 lines. It includes a description of subject and purpose, disciplinary approach, nature of the research and source materials (fieldwork, archives, oral traditions, etc.). Where applicable an indication of the time period, specific geographical information (such as names of towns, villages or districts), as well as the names of persons, languages and ethnic groups, are also included. Indexes and list of sources Each issue of African Studies Abstracts Online contains a geographical index, a subject index, and an author index, all referring to abstract number. The geographical index is at a region and country level. It refers to both abstract and page number, and for some may serve as a surrogate table of contents. The subject index is self-devised and is intended as a first and global indication of subjects. It follows roughly the main classes of the UDC, with categories for general, religion and philosophy, culture and society, politics, economics, law, education, anthropology, medical care and health services, rural and urban planning and geography, language and literature, and history and biography. Each category is further subdivided into a number of subcategories. Abstracts of items included under more than one country heading are indexed in the geographical index under each country. In the subject and author indexes they are indexed only once; the reference is always to the first time an entry appears. In addition, each issue of African Studies Abstracts Online contains a list of periodicals abstracted which provides information on title, current place of publication and ISSN of all periodicals from which articles have been selected, as well as indicating which issues of the periodical in question have been covered. A complete list of all periodicals regularly scanned for abstracting or indexing is available on the African Studies Centre website at: http://www.ascleiden.nl/Library/Abstracts/ As always, comments or suggestions are very welcome. iv GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page INTERNATIONAL General 1-6 17 AFRICA General 7-74 20 NORTHEAST AFRICA General 75-76 56 Eritrea 77-78 58 Ethiopia 79-89 59 Somalia 90-94 65 Sudan 95-98 68 AFRICA SOUTH OF THE SAHARA General 99-123 70 WEST AFRICA General 124-134 85 Burkina Faso 135-138 91 Cape Verde 139 93 The Gambia 140 94 Ghana 141-155 95 Guinea-Bissau 156 102 Ivory Coast 157-159 103 Liberia 160-161 104 Mali 162-165 105 Mauritania 166-167 107 Niger 168-174 108 Nigeria 175-212 112 Senegal 213-218 130 Togo 219 134 WEST CENTRAL AFRICA Angola 220-221 134 1 GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page Cameroon 222-230 136 Chad 231-235 141 Congo (Brazzaville) 236 143 Congo (Kinshasa) 237-246 144 EAST AFRICA General 247-250 150 Kenya 251-264 152 Rwanda 265-266 160 Tanzania 267-275 161 Uganda 276-281 165 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AFRICA General 282-284 168 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AFRICA Malawi 285-289 170 Mozambique 290 172 Zambia 291-293 173 Zimbabwe 294-304 175 SOUTHERN AFRICA General 305-306 181 Botswana 307-308 182 Lesotho 309 183 Namibia 310-314 183 South Africa 315-402 187 Swaziland 403 232 ISLANDS Madagascar 404-410 232 Mauritius 411-412 236 2 SUBJECT INDEX A.

    ÖBKT JAAROVERZICHT 1987 DEELl .RAAD VAN BEHEER .RADIO .TELEVISE Jaaroverzicht 1987. TEN GELEIDE In 1987 heeft de BRT voor zichzelf duidelijk willen uitmaken wat de taak van de openbare omroep in Vlaanderen voor de ko­ mende jaren moet zijn, en wat er nodig is om in vergelijking met vergelijkbare omroepen uit het vergelijkbare buitenland een behoorlijk figuur te slaan. Daarvoor werden realistisch geachte vijfjarenplannen opgesteld. De BRT bereidde zich op de uitdaging van de toekomst voor. Uitgaande van de meest gangbare filosofie terzake en zich gesteund voelend door krachtdadige uitspraken van gezagheb­ bende instanties die een goed functionerende en adequaat ge­ financierde openbare omroep als een conditio sine qua non voor grondige wijzigingen in het mediabestel beschouwen, heeft de BRT gemeend te moeten stellen dat een fatsoenlijke invulling van zijn informerende, vormende en ontspannende opdracht een minimaal bedrag van 7,5 miljard Bfr. vereist, wat toevallig overeenkomt met 75 % van het momenteel in Vlaanderen geïnde kijk- en luistergeld. In 1987 kreeg de BRT daar 52 % van. (Ter illustratie : de Deense omroep DR, werkend voor een bevolking die ongeveer even groot is als de Vlaamse, maar met bijna 1000 tv-uren en 10.000 radio-uren minder dan de BRT, beschikte over bijna tweemaal het inkomen van de BRT). De Nederlandse omroep heeft een budget van ingeveer 20 miljard frank; de BRT beschikt over 5,4 miljard om ook twee tv- netten en vijf radionetten te vullen. Toch is de BRT er jaar na jaar in geslaagd zonder deficit te eindigen. Het budget werd met uiterste zorg beheerd. Van de Doorlichting, die gevraagd was om na te gaan of de BRT zijn mensen en middelen wel efficiënt genoeg gebruikt, werd het eindrapport in maart 1987 ingediend.
