Keeping up with Africa: a selective annotated bibliography

Awareness of developments taking place in Africa is essential for non-African economies, commercial interests, and investors; and also for governmental, diplomatic, and political interests. Reference librarians may find themselves faced with more and varied questions concerning African affairs and current events, and may be asked to supply more than just general answers about Africa. This article presents resources for developing an understanding of African affairs, and keeping up-to-date with African economics, governance, and development issues on a day-to-day basis.
