Mapping the world of women's
info services... is a project to be undertaken in conjunction with the
KnowHow Conference on women's information to be held in Amstedam
(Netherlands) August 22-26 1998. Details of the mapping project are given
below (from the website for the conference). I urge everyone engaged in or
knowing of relevant work to submit descriptions. It will help to build a
great resource for the study of women around the world.
Mapping the World
The Mapping the World project will increase the visibility and
accessibility of women's information services for their clients.
The project is an inventory of women's information services throughout the
world, compiled by the organizers of the Know
How Conference using existing inventories and the Know How Conference
network of contacts. The final product of Mapping
the World will be made available on the Internet. For people without
Internet access, the product will be made available in an
alternative form. The inventory wil consist of data on international,
national and local women's information services, on gender
specific information sections in governmental organizations, on women's
documentation and research centres connected to
universities, and on resource centres in which, among others, women's
information is collected. The inventory will also cover
relevant media, web sites, articles on women's information, bibliographic
information and, where possible, photographic and
audio-visual material and other non-written material.
The organizers of the Know How Conference ask all readers of this to
participate in creating Mapping the World by sending
material. The material can be written, photographic, audio-visual,
digital, etc. The deadline for receipt of this material is April
1st, 1998. Please send your information to:
