UMBC now has access to the eHRAF World Cultures database for the month of March.
The eHRAF World Cultures is an online cross-cultural database containing descriptive information on cultures and ethnic groups from around the world. eHRAF is unique because each culture contains a variety of full-text source documents (books, articles, and dissertations) that have been indexed and organized according to HRAF's comprehensive culture and subject classification systems: the Outline of World Cultures (OWC), and the Outline of Cultural Materials (OCM).
As a multicultural database, eHRAF appeals to many academic disciplines in the social sciences, humanities, medicine, and any other area with an interest in cultural diversity.
The trial runs through March 31, 2012. Feedback on the usefulness of this database is appreciated. Leave us a comment to let us know what you think.
