http://www.reference-global.com/toc/mfir/37/1

Articles/reviews will be due October 15, 2009. Please contact the editor ([email protected]) if you would like to contribute an article or review in one of the following areas:

1. Articles about creating and/or working with women's history/culture digital collections.
My goal is to have a good variety of articles that focus on unique formats (e.g., digital video, oral histories, scrapbooks, etc.), content, metadata approaches, etc. Articles about collections produced by institutions outside of North America are also needed. Articles could be general overviews or focus on specific aspects (technical, selection, end user studies, educational aspects, etc.).

2. Articles about microfilm/microfiche collections could focus on patron use, selecting collections to purchase in a digital age, marketing the collections, an overview of women's history collections over the past 5-10 years, etc.

3. Reviews of digital collections. Possible collections to review include (but are not limited to):

Defining gender, 1450-1910: Five centuries of advice literature online. Marlborough, Wiltshire, England : Adam Matthew Publications, 2003.
