Books on the broad subject of Anthropology can be found in the "GN" call number area of the General Collection and the Reference Collection.
Some selected new books are highlighted here.
Many books on the Anthropology or Ethnography or Ethnology or Social / Cultural aspects of various ethnic / culture groups or countries / regions, will be found under other call numbers. Use the Library Catalog to search for these books by keyword.
One sample search might be something like: Africa AND ethnic group*
Or just the name of the culture group: Zulu
Or combining concepts/terms, like this: Hispanic* AND cultur*
The asterisks at the end of the word are truncation features, and allow you to pick up variations of the word:
culture or cultures or cultural without having to type out separately all the variations of a word.
