AnthroSource database now compatible with RefWorks

All AnthroSource database online content platforms are now compatible with the RefWorks citation manager. RefWorks allows for the easy management of references and quick generation of bibliographies and footnotes. These tools dramatically reduce the reference management burden on scholars and researchers, decrease the chance of errors, and offer significant flexibility when making changes.

Also, AnthroSource will be made available for archiving through LOCKSS, which ensures the long-term preservation and security for the over 40,000 articles that are a part of the premier online resource for anthropologists. LOCKSS (lots of copies keep stuff safe) is open source software that provides librarians with an easy and inexpensive way to collect, store, preserve, and provide access to their own, local copy of authorized content they purchase. Running on standard desktop hardware LOCKSS converts a personal computer into a digital preservation appliance, creating low-cost, persistent, accessible copies of e-journal content as it is published.
