Primary Sources in this discipline mostly consist of ethnographies or original observations/research. Below are some places to find ethnographies, which are often located in books. Finding ethnographies can sometimes be tricky, and so here are some tips to help you find them:

• In Catalyst, try using the term "ethnog*" in the abstract search field of an advanced search, along with your topic in the primary search field. The subject search field can be spotty for finding these resources, which is why you should try the abstract search field instead.
• You can try searching for book reviews as a way to find ethnographies. Even though book reviews are secondary sources, the reviews usually discuss methodology and might help you find books that employ ethnography in their research. In JSTOR and Project Muse, two good places to look for book reviews, limit your search to book reviews and Anthropology and then search "ethnog*" and your topic.
• The SOAN 110 guide listed below also includes some good suggestions for finding these resources.
