Streaming Ethnography Videos: Database trial from now until Feb. 9 2015

Each year, the library sets up a number of database trials which allow us to evaluate databases we may want to acquire in the future. These trials are accessible by students, faculty, staff, and alumni. For the next month, please check out the Ethnography Videos trial.

If you are interested in indigenous practices, you may find this collection of videos very helpful. If you search for the word 'spiritual,' many interesting videos pop up in the results list. Please note that the trial will end on Feb. 9th. Please send us feedback about this at refdesk@sofia.edu.

More about the Ethnography Videos Collection from the site:

Ethnographic Video Online is a comprehensive online resource for the study of human culture, behavior and society around the world. The collections contain over 1,300 hours of streaming video, including ethnographic films, documentaries, select feature films, and previously unpublished fieldwork. It’s also a resource for a study of the discipline itself: By placing examples of traditional ethnographic methodologies alongside indigenous-made films representing previously overlooked perspectives, scholars, teachers and students of anthropology can gain a sense of the discipline’s history and of its future direction.
