ANNOUNCEMENT The first issue of African Studies Abstracts Online is now available on the web! It is a PDF file that you can download and print at your own convenience. We are developing a browse-version that will permit you to select relevant abstracts in your field/region of interest. Like its printed predecessor (African Studies Abstracts), African Studies Abstracts Online provides an overview of articles from periodicals and edited works on Africa in the field of the social sciences and the humanities available in the library of the African Studies Centre in Leiden (http://asc.leidenuniv.nl/). African Studies Abstracts Online will be issued four times a year on the journals website http://asc.leidenuniv.nl/library/abstracts/asa-online/, where it can be consulted free of charge.

Each issue also contains a geographical index, a subject index, an author index, and a list of journals and edited works abstracted in that issue. Almost 240 journals are scanned on a regular and systematic basis. This includes all the leading journals in the field of African studies, as well as a number of journals dealing with third world countries and development studies in general. Just under half are published in Africa. A selection of edited works is also accessed and abstracted on a chapter-by-chapter basis. All publications covered are available at the African Studies Centre library in Leiden.
