African Studies WWW
Africanists can now access the database of
African Studies materials on the World-Wide Web, which contains teaching
materials for teachers, the business community, and researchers. The Web
also contains information on programs and resources at Penn, in the US,
Africa and elsewhere. The African Studies Program's outreach program, which
maintains the electronic bulletin board, is prepared to extend its resources
to the local community, surrounding schools and colleges, and the public
at large.
