Acceptable Use Policy

Anthropology deals with all that pertains to the human, resulting in a diverse selection of course offerings and an eclectic list of faculty research interests. Consequently the library collections tend to be interdisciplinary, dealing with such subjects as cultural and physical anthropology, area studies, history, evolution, linquistics, archaeology, public health, conflict resolution, and globalization. There is an Anthropology section in the library, but the study will take you anywhere and everywhere within the collections and encompass all formats - paper, electronic and microform.
