Anthropological Field Study--by Prof. Laura Tamakoshil of Truman University. This is a good overview of the steps involved in conducting anthropological field work in one of the world's most exotic places, New Guinea. Other sections of the Field work site include, some of the sections listed below. However, this site suffers for lack of internal navigation (unless you are lucky enough to stumble upon the correct menu bar or frame version--if you do, contact me. I found three different menus and none of them work). If you do link directly to the sections I list below, and the author hasn't cleared up the navigation problems, return to this page to select a link to another.

ACADEMIC
RESPONSIBILITY
The Web HAWG is an internet jumpstation for Anthropological and Sociological on-line resources. However, all students are cautioned to remember that electronic media, while interesting and exciting forms of technology, are still evolving. The long and the short of it is that there is a lot of "junk" on the Net, some of it with little or no redeeming scholarly value. Internet users must always assess and discern the information, and consider the source. The internet is no substitute for hands-on library research and traditional methods of information gathering and assessment. I expect all my students to make the college library their first and last stop in information gathering.
The basic fundamental principles of academic research remain a duty of the student researcher, among them, cite your sources. Internet citations are important for the same reasons as citations of traditional sources: You must know the foundation of knowledge on which your analysis and treatise is built, and readers have the right (and duty) to check your sources.
The citation form of electronic media sources is not universally accepted, but for the Internet, the basic acceptable form is:
Author, Title, (On-line), (Date, Date Retrieved), Available: protocol://host(port)/directory/subdirectory/file.name.
I suggest that students consult the Student's Guide to Referencing On Line Information Sources in the Social Sciences for some excellent guidelines on the citation of electronic and internet sources. An excellent outline, Guide for Citing Electronic Information, is also useful and informative.
