Recommended. Academic collections.
—Choice March 2005
[P]rovides helpful information for the collection development librarian as well as the reference/instruction librarian. Faculty and students in the field of women's studies will also find this book a valuable addition to the collection....The librarian new to collection development would find the sources and methods detailing the selection of the entries an important introduction to the main resources in the field. The inclusion of electronic resources will aid the librarian in educating students and faculty about resources which complement the print collection. The bibliography will serve equally well as a quick reference resource or as a text to be studied and read as a summary of scholarship in the field of women's studies from the mid 1980s to the end of the 20th century. Recommended for academic collections.
—Collection Management 2006
This should be an essential part of any academic libraru collection and an invaluable resource for feminist/gender studies.

Description: A team of subject specialists has taken on the immense task of documenting publications in the area of women's studies in the last decades of the 20th century. The result is this truly monumental work, which maps the field, covering thousands of titles and Web sites in 19 subject areas published between 1985 and 1999. Intended as a reference and collection development tool, this bibliography provides a guide for women's studies information for each title along with a detailed, often evaluative review. The annotations summarize each work's content, its importance or contribution to women's studies, and its relationship to other titles on the subject. Most reviews cite and describe similar and contrasting titles, substantially extending the coverage. Core titles and titles that are out of print are noted, and reviews indicate which titles are appropriate as texts or supplemental texts. Taking up where the previous volume by Loeb, Searing, and Stineman left off, this is the definitive guide to the literature of women's studies. It is a must purchase for academic libraries that support women's studies programs; and a welcome addition to any academic or public library that endeavors to represent the field.
