Americans hoping to learn more about South Africa have many resources to turn to, in libraries, media centers, and on the internet. Compared to other countries, from which significant waves of immigrants have arrived in the U.S., South Africa has relatively sparse stateside representation. Thus, it may take some extra resourcefulness to find cultural information about South Africa in the average American information channel. This section of the tutorial is designed to get you started with an introduction to freely available South African resources, in the UNC Libraries and beyond. This section will help you find basic information to start with. It is divided into the following categories:

• Overview of the Country
• Books
• Newspapers
• Travel Guidebooks
• Literature
• Language Resources
• Databases
• Maps
• Films
