piler states that one-third or 900 citations 
are about Nigeria, Africa's most popu-
lated country. Sitzman requires users to 
adjust to the idiosyncratic arrangement of 
his essays, chronologies, and bibliogra-
phies before finding the important refer-
ences buried in African Libraries; with 
some attention and skill, this can be done. 
Because of its comprehensive scope, Afri-
can Libraries is an important guide to the li-
brary literature about and from Sub-
Saharan Africa that is difficult to identify. 
However, its arrangement, with some 
parts already out of date, and its lack of 
comprehensive indexes prevent it from 
being an unqualified first-choice reference 
tool.-John Bruce Howell, International Stud-
ies Bibliographer, University of Iowa Libraries, 
Iowa City.
