Overview

This work is committed to identify published materials on the status of women in the profession of librarianship and to compile, update and issue a bibliography of these materials. The years covered in this volume were a rich time for writings relevant to the status of women in librarianship and information science. In addition to a large body of journal literature, these years also witnessed the publication of several significant books along with the growing trend on the part of many LIS writers to draw on the body of gender and feminist studies outside LIS to inform the study of gender in the LIS field.
