The Francophone World: New Works in the Libraries: Introduction & Tips

The Libraries acquire newly published and older materials all during the year. This page highlights the most recently cataloged materials for France and its former colonial possessions, including Africa, Asia, Canada, the Caribbean, and South America.

New Francophone-Related Works in UGA Libraries

The Libraries acquire newly published and older materials throughout the year. In this guide, I will highlight the works I have seen during the past month which are now available to check out or use in the Libraries.

The items I list here cover all subjects that pertain to:

  • French and French Creole languages and dialects
  • Any topics about France or its former colonies in Africa, Asia, and the Americas
  • Any topics about people from these areas living in the United States

I will include books, DVDs, periodicals, and chapters from books and conference proceedings.

Tip of the Month

Each month I will be posting a tip about how to get the most out of using the University of Georgia Library resources. Sometimes the tip will be something simple, such as announcing a change in the library, or it could be something more complex. Keep watching here to see what comes up!

Tip for April 2021:

  • More electronic books are showing up in the GIL catalog. If you are having trouble opening them, use the "Chat" function on the Libraries' Main Library webpage. You might also find ebooks in the SpringerLink site - these will NOT be listed in the Libraries' catalog.

Is there something you want me to explain? Send me suggestions for tips!

Tips from the Last Year

  • March 2021 - When working on a literature review, make sure to check in ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Full Text and WorldCat.
  • February 2021 - Send me suggestions for purchases.
  • January 2021 - Time to schedule instruction sessions for Spring!
  • October-December 2020 - Book you need checked out? Look to see if another USG campus has a copy. No? Ask through Interlibrary Loan.
  • August-September 2020 - Ordering has resumed. Send me suggestions!
  • Mid-March through July 2020 - Libraries closed due to COVID-19.
