Finding the right sources to improve an article


Ask a Research Question


How this works: If you want to improve an article, but you don't know what sources to use or how or where to find them, ask a question here. Try to be specific about the article or subject you're working on and link to it if possible. Mention what kind of access to libraries you have, as what source you use might depend on what source you can actually get. Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Encyclopedia of Global Archaeology Help Finding Page Numbers

I'm writing about Cueva de las Manos. I have access to all of the physical volumes of The Encyclopedia of Global Archaeology by Springer through my local library. My issue is that I can't for the life of me find the page numbers of the contents, or what volumes contain which sections of the book. I need help finding this information in order to effectively search the books for what I am looking for. If I could get the page numbers and volume numbers for any of the following sections, it would be much appreciated:

  • Rock Art Sites: Management and Conservation
  • Cueva de las Manos, Río Pinturas Cave Art
  • South American Rock Art
  • Andes: Prehistoric Art
  • Art, Paleolithic
  • Olmec: Geography and Culture

Sources for Ethiopian Azmari artist Bahru Kegne.

Hello. I'm trying to create a page for Bahru Kegne, a notable Azmari(traditionel Ethiopian music style) artist that used to play for Emperor Haile Selassie, for the page i created List of musicians using Amharic vocals, which will be linked to a soon to be created music section in the culture section of the Amhara people page. I can't find many reliable sources, i don't have any special Library acces that i'm aware off. There's a mention of him on this site [[1]] in blue with a link to a youtube video [[2]]. The video also displays articles about Bahru Kegne. The Ex (band) a Dutch band probably wrote the articles in the video. I would like to get access to those original articles and use them as a source. Maybe it's archived somewhere? Any other reliable sources about Bahru Kegne biography & music is very much appreciated.
