Opis

Women's studies and feminism has been a growing subject area since the 1960s. The increase of sources of information in this area has highlighted the need for an up-to-date guide to sources covering all the recent developments. Providing you with a guide to information sources in an area that is still unconventional and problematic, the Information Sources in Women's Studies and Feminism will give you a way through the maze of sources. This new title is not limited to traditional academic genres. Different use is made in this area of Government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) publications and more legitimacy is given to grey literature and popular literature than in other areas of the academy. Therefore, a book that treats issues of information as well as specific sources is important to researchers and activists in the area. The contents include: Archival material, serials, electronic resources, information in/from local and grassroots organizations, Government and non-government organizations documents, Collections and canonicity, Bibliographic control as naming information, Audiences with diverse interests, Lesbian sources, Information for/about women of colour, Indigenous women's information, and the Importance of information to women.

Recenzje

"Der Wert des Sammelbandes ergibt sich für hiesige ExpertInnen schon allein daraus, daß kaum vergleichbare Publikationen existieren. Sie finden den neuesten Forschungsstand und aktuelle internationale Erfahrungen nicht nur in den einzelnen Texten des Sammelbandes, sondern auch einen Literaturüberblick sowie wertvolle Internetlinks und andere Adressen." BuB, Bad Honnef, Nr. 1, Januar 2003
