African Studies

The Alexander Library is the largest of the Rutgers University Libraries, and contains the main research collection on African studies. Besides monograph titles, journals and databases subscriptions, the Alexander Library houses United States, New Jersey, foreign and international government documents, each of which has important materials pertinent to Africa and the African Diaspora. Additional material is held at other Rutgers Libraries. The Social Sciences Data Center at Alexander Library facilitate access to some of the RUL government documents, and networked CD-ROM data, while also serving as a clearinghouse for existing or newly created data collections. The Library of Science and Medicine collects materials related to the physical sciences and technology, including government documents. The Mabel Smith Douglass Library houses part of the gender studies and Performing Arts collections including the Music Library. The Art Library houses materials related to African art and architecture. The Institute of Jazz Studies is the world's foremost jazz archive and research facility. It is to be noted that our Special Collections and University Archives holds a fine rare collection of travel narratives and the Media Center unit offers a unique list of moving image (videotape, DVD, laser disc) collections. Kilmer and Dana libraries house an excellent business collection.
