How Do I Look Up Ethnographies in the Library ESearch?
There is no one section or simple search for ethnographies, because books in the library are organized by the region or people being described, not the genre of writing.
One technique is to go to Advanced Search and type "social life and customs" into one search box AND a word for a region or people, such as "American Indians" or "New Guinea." After you have run the search, look on the left column of the results page and limit the results to Books/eBooks.
Another technique in Advanced Search is to search for the term "ethnology" AND a region or people, such as "Chin?" (for China, Chinese, etc.). Again, limit the results to Books/eBooks.
To access a series of short ethnographies in the library, search for the phrase "case studies in cultural anthropology"
Finally, searching for "culture and customs" as a TITLE will result in a set of descriptive books that are not quite ethnographies but will serve the purpose of your Anthropology 135 assignment.
