Anthropology Resources: Guide to Primatology Resources
Introduction
The study of primatology requires specialized resources. This page points to the most basic resources held at Hofstra University.
Basic Resources in Primatology
The following contain material on primates. You might also use the Journal Finder function on the University Library homepage searching for journals which contain the word "primate" or "primatology". The term "primates" returns more journals than the term "primatology". The catalogue and OneSearch may also be searched in the same fashion.

Academic Search Ultimate Developed to meet the increasing demands of scholarly research, Academic Search Ultimate offers students an unprecedented collection of peer-reviewed, full-text journals, including many journals indexed in leading citation indexes. Includes over 9,000 active full-text journals and magazines
-

-
ScienceDirect Probably the best source at Hofstra University on this topic. The first page allows you to limit your search to large categories of knowledge (“Life Sciences”, “Social Sciences and Humanities”) or to narrow disciplines (“Environmental Science”). I find searching across all titles to be sufficient. Best search is by name of primate species.
