African Culture African History African Languages African Studies Black Studies Cataloging Databases Foreign Countries Indexing Subject Index Terms User Needs (Information) Users (Information) This thesaurus identifies nearly 4,000 subject heading terms that pertain specifically to the 41 countries that make up Africa south of the Sahara. The process of identifying these terms began with a search through the "Library of Congress Subject Headings," followed by searches of other subject heading materials and bibliographic databases. Additional cross references and references to African languages, peoples, and countries were added, so that the final listing contains references to over 600 African peoples and nearly 600 African languages. An introduction explains how to use the thesaurus. One appendix outlines the African history classification used, and the other presents a table of subdivisions that can be added to geographical subject headings to refine searches. (SLD) |
