African History to 1875 (Fall 1997)

                   HOW TO USE ELECTRONIC NOTES
First, download the file onto your diskette by clicking on FILE-
SAVE AS and specifying a file name that begins with A:.

Next, load your saved file into your favorite word processor and
search for words that are relevant to your topic.  Then read as
much of the adjacent material to get a sense of the content and
to
identify additional words to search.

You have my permission (as author) to use any of these notes in
your paper, but you must footnote them properly.  At the top of
each file containing notes, I included the reference in proper
format.  All you have to do is add a comma and a page number
before
the period at the end.  Then place it in either a footnote or
endnote (but be consistent).

For example, on page 184 of the book by Jean Martin, there is
information about the date that the Dutch first occupied Goree
Island.  If you use this information in your paper, then your
reference note should read:

     Jean Martin, editor, Lexique de la colonisation fran‡aise
     (Paris: Dalloz, 1988), 184.
