Event: 

National Women's Studies Association conference

Abstract: 

As the explosion of feminist knowledge production of the last 40 years encounters the expansive potential of the digital age, the outlook for ease of access to women’s studies research materials seems bright indeed, but the picture is not an uncomplicated one. This panel will explore the most pressing issues facing the future of women’s studies information-seeking. Issues specifically considered are 1) the creation of an ontology, or common vocabulary for researchers, that could make searching for feminist materials uniform and effective over many databases, and 2) the importance of collecting and providing access to zines and other alternative materials.
