A note on the side bar of the blog.

On the side bar of the blog we've make a search feature for you to search previous posts as well as the links provided through the blog. Below that we have an archive of previous posts so you can view them by the date they were posted.

Then we've made a list of web resources for anthropology students at UVU.  This includes several links to UVU websites that may be of interest as well as many outside of the university that may be of use in your studies.  We will write another post soon to introduce members to those links as they can be very useful for general study. The primary link of interest may be the club's facebook group.  If you are on facebook but haven't joined the group yet please consider doing so.  These links also include portals to academic journal databases like JSTOR and AnthroSource.  Once you link on these links you will be asked for your UV Link ID and password.  These databases are invaluable resources for searching for articles.



Below the resource links we've created direct links to archives for various academic journals.  If you click on one of these links you will have to sign in with your UV Link ID and password.  Although there are a few journals out there on included in the list and that UVU doesn't have access to you can always use interlibrary loan to order those articles--its free.


We then have made a brief list of possible professional anthropology associations that you may consider becoming a member of.  They offer many resources that can help you if you are interested in pursuing grad school.  There are many other associations you may want to look into, those listed on the blog are just some of the more popular ones for the interests many UVU students share.


Under those links we've created two news feeds from the New York Times and other various sources about stories that directly relate to anthropology.  Check them out if sometime looks interesting to you.


We then have provided a list of different blogs by anthropologists and student anthropologists about the discipline.  They are in descending order by the time they were updated.  Some of these blogs are a little better than others but they are all worth just taking a look at.


Thank you for visiting the blog and participating in our new club.  We are always open to suggestions on how to make the club better.  If you have any such suggestions, comments or questions please post them on the blog or email them to uvuanth@gmail.com.

Thanks,
Admin
