The database indexes six types of materials: books and government documents; articles appearing in edited books; periodical and journal articles; Masters theses and Ph.D. dissertations as well as a few B.A. theses and honors papers; conference papers; and videocassettes.

  • African Literature Association
  • African Studies Association
  • American Anthropological Association
  • Cairo Demographic Centre
  • Canadian Association of African Studies
  • International AIDS Conference
  • Middle East Studies Association
