Journals

The Library has an extensive number of journals and newspapers in printed and electronic format - all focused on Africa, mainly within the areas of social sciences, politics, development issues and humanities. Our periodical collection starts at the beginning of the 1960s and reflects the political and social development on the African continent over more than four decades.

All journals, both printed and electronic, and indexed articles are searchable in the library catalogue, AfricaLit and in Africa-Wide Information.
