If you have a citation to a full-text work:

1. Search eHRAF by author or title to find out if the work has become available online.

2. If you can't find the work in eHRAF, use the HRAF print Author Index to locate the appropriate fiche.

Example: to find Les Bambara / par Viviana Paques.

Look up the author's last name ( e.g. Paques), in the print Author Index, located in the red binder on the fiche cabinet across from the Periodicals/Microforms service desk. Note the number(s) next to the author's name (e.g. FA 8-3 next to Paques, Viviana.)

To locate the fiche, first find the appropriate culture unit group (e.g. FA 8). Next go to Category 116  within the culture unit. Last, within the Category 116 fiche find the author name and number cited in the Author Index.  For example, you'll find Les Bambara on a fiche labeled: Category 116 3 Paques FA8 Bambara.
