Van Doorn i ii EDITORIAL POLICY 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 library of the African Studies Centre in Leiden, The Netherlands. New features Following recommendations from a survey among subscribers to the ASA Online mailing list in 2008/09, various improvements have been made to ASA Online. The navigation and search facilities have been enhanced and a link to full text has been included when available. It is now possible to navigate within ASA Online directly - from the table of contents to the corresponding page - from an entry number in the subject and author indexes to the page where the bibliographic description and abstract can be found - from the country name in the geographical index to the corresponding section of the abstracts and from the entry number to the page containing the bibliographic description and abstract - from the bibliographic description via the ASCLink to the full text of an article or publication if available (subject to access restrictions) Another new feature is the inclusion of descriptors from the ASC African Studies Thesaurus for each entry. Each descriptor is linked to a search query in the online catalogue of the ASC library. Coverage ASA Online covers edited works (up to 60 in each issue) and journals in the field of African studies. Some 240 journals are systematically scanned. Just over half are English-language journals, just under a quarter are French, and the rest are German, Afrikaans, Dutch, Italian and Portuguese. Some 40 percent of the journals are published in Africa. Newspapers and weeklies, popular magazines, current affairs bulletins, statistical digests, directories, annual reports and newsletters are 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 online catalogue of the ASC Library at http://opc4-ascl.pica.nl/DB=3/LNG=EN/ To be selected for abstracting/indexing an article must be at least three to four pages long and have been published in the past two years. In a few cases, an article may be excluded on the grounds of subject if this is marginal to the ASC library's collection profile. Articles in the field of literature dealing with only one work are normally not selected. This also applies to purely descriptive articles iii EDITORIAL POLICY covering current political/economic developments, which could be expected to become quickly outdated. Review articles and book reviews are not covered. Contents and arrangement ASA Online is published four times a year. Each issue contains up to 400 entries, numbered sequentially and arranged geographically according to the broad regions of Africa: Northeast, West, West Central, East, Southeast Central and Southern Africa, and the Indian Ocean islands. There is also a general section for entries whose scope extends beyond Africa, as well as sections dealing with Africa and with sub-Saharan Africa as a whole. Within the regional sections, 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 a bibliographic description together with English-language descriptors from the ASC African Studies Thesaurus and an abstract in the language of the original document. The abstract covers the essentials of the publication, generally including a description of subject and purpose, disciplinary approach, nature of the research and source materials. Where applicable an indication of the time period, specific geographical information, as well as the names of persons, languages and ethnic groups, are included. Indexes and list of sources Each issue of ASA Online contains a geographical index, a subject index, and an author index, all referring to entry number. The subject index is self-devised and is intended as a first and global indication of subjects 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. Entries included under more than one country heading are listed in the geographical index under each country. The subject and author indexes list the entry only once, the first time it appears. In addition, each issue of ASA Online contains a list of periodicals abstracted, indicating the issues which have been covered. A list of all periodicals regularly scanned for abstracting or indexing is available on the ASC website at: http://www.ascleiden.nl/Library/Abstracts/ Comments or suggestions can be sent to the editors at [email protected] iv GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number INTERNATIONAL General 1-8 AFRICA General 9-57 NORTHEAST AFRICA General 58-61 Eritrea 62 Ethiopia 63-81 Somalia 82-84 Sudan 85 AFRICA SOUTH OF THE SAHARA General 86-120 WEST AFRICA General 121-128 Benin 129-132 Burkina Faso 133-139 The Gambia 140 Ghana 141-157 Guinea 158-159 Ivory Coast 160-162 Mali 163-170 Mauritania 171-172 Niger 173-175 Nigeria 176-197 Senegal 198-211 Sierra Leone 212-214 WEST CENTRAL AFRICA General 215-216 Angola 217 Cameroon 218-229 Central African Republic 230 Chad 231 Congo (Brazzaville) 232-233 1 GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX Congo (Kinshasa) 234-243 Gabon 244-258 EAST AFRICA General 259-266 Burundi 267 Kenya 268-287 Rwanda 288-292 Tanzania 293-308 Uganda 309-320 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AFRICA General 321 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AFRICA General 322 Malawi 323-327 Mozambique 328 Zambia 329-332 Zimbabwe 333-341 SOUTHERN AFRICA General 342-343 Botswana 344-347 Lesotho 348-349 Namibia 350-356 South Africa 357-435 ISLANDS Madagascar 436-437 Mauritius 438-441 2 SUBJECT INDEX A.
