- Europa World Year Book
- Location: REF JN 1 .E85 The granddaddy of one-stop sources for becoming an "instant expert" on any country in the world, this source is published annually by the respected Europa Publications. It has no online counterpart, so it is well worth the trip to the library to begin your research here. Use the lengthy introductory article on your country to identify key issues, historical and economic trends, and other significant data. Be sure to use the latest annual volume for the most current information.
- Encyclopedia of Africa South of the Sahara
- Location: REF DT 351 .E53 1997 This multi-volume set has a wealth of information on the countries you are studying and is definitely one of the top sources to consult. The one caveat is that it was published in 1997, meaning the information it provides is accurate only up to the mid-1990s. Use it to identify areas for further study, then update your knowledge with the help of periodical articles, recently-published books, etc.
- Africana: The Encyclopedia of the African and African American Experience
- Location: REF DT 14 .A37435 1999 Provides medium-length articles on African countries. The 1999 publication date means information is a bit more current. This source also brings a political/social outlook to bear on the countries that is different from some of the more standard sources.
