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://opc-ascl.oclc.org/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 1-10 AFRICA General 11-54 NORTHEAST AFRICA General 55-57 Djibouti 58 Eritrea 59 Ethiopia 60-77 Horn of Africa 78-79 Somalia 80 Sudan 81-84 AFRICA SOUTH OF THE SAHARA General 85-98 WEST AFRICA General 99-101 Benin 102-105 Burkina Faso 106-110 Ghana 111-125 Ivory Coast 126 Liberia 127-129 Mali 130-132 Niger 133 Nigeria 134-176 Senegal 177-181 Sierra Leone 182-185 Togo 186-187 WEST CENTRAL AFRICA General 188-190 Angola 191-193 Cameroon 194-201 Congo (Brazzaville) 202-204 Congo (Kinshasa) 205-215 1 GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX Gabon 216-221 EAST AFRICA General 222-224 Burundi 225 Kenya 226-230 Rwanda 231-233 Tanzania 234-249 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AFRICA General 250-253 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AFRICA Malawi 254-256 Mozambique 257-258 Zambia 259-261 Zimbabwe 262-273 SOUTHERN AFRICA General 274-275 Botswana 276 Lesotho 277-282 Namibia 283 South Africa 284-370 ISLANDS Madagascar 371 2 SUBJECT INDEX A.
