More from Bartlett:

"My efforts to identify free-to-student resources are ongoing. While open educational resources are rare in biological anthropology, other online resources, which are available through the library, are suitable for upper-division and graduate students. I recently advocated for the library to purchase the International Encyclopedia of Anthropology and intend to use several of its entries in my graduate seminar next fall (ANT 5073 Advanced Biological Anthropology)."
