ilissAfrica (Internet Library sub-Saharan Africa)
http://www.ilissafrica.de/en/vk/
The internet library sub-Saharan Africa (ilissAfrica) is a portal that
offers an integrated access to relevant scientific conventional and digital
information resources on the sub-Saharan Africa region. Information
scattered on private or institutional websites, databases or library
catalogues are brought together in order to facilitate research. Without
ilissAfrica this information has to be collected in a laborious and
time-consuming process. ilissAfrica allows simultaneous searching ("General
search") in the following electronic resources:
- Library Catalogue UB Frankfurt (mainly books)
- Africa Section of the database World Affairs Online incl. the Africa
library catalogue of GIGA Hamburg (books and journal articles) as from 1985
- Library Catalogue of the African Studies Centre, Leiden, The Netherlands
(books and journal articles)
- SSG-Section of the Swets database "Online Contents" (titles of journal
articles)
- Database on internet resources with more than 3000 websites on sub-Saharan
Africa
International Documentation Network on the Great African Lakes Region
www.grandslacs.net
The objective of the network is to disseminate as widely as possible a large
amount of "grey literature", i.e. unpublished or scarcely distributed
written documents on the Great Lakes Region. The database can be searched
full text, or by author, type of sources (governmental, non-governmental
organizations, political parties, press, etc.), and keywords.
Quarterly Index of African Periodical Literature (Library of Congress,
Nairobi Office, Kenya)
An index
of over 300 selected periodicals (mostly scholarly) which are acquired
regularly by the Nairobi Office of the Library of Congress from 29 African
countries.
