Women's Studies Program Library Resources

The Women's Studies Program maintains a collection of resources, which will be of interest not only to Women's Studies students and faculty but also to faculty and students in other disciplines. The library is located in the Women's Studies office, in Reavis Hall, Room 103.

We welcome the use of our collection of  books, audio visual, and other materials by as many members of the university and community as possible. The policies outlined below are designed to maintain ready access to the materials.

Library Policies:

Books and other materials may be signed out by faculty members or teaching assistants in the Women's Studies program for the remainder of the current semester. Materials may be renewed once.

Ordinarily, students may not check out books and materials. They may use materials in the reading room whenever it is open (normally, Monday-Friday, 8:00-noon and 1:00-4:30, except when meetings are scheduled). Students may take materials out of the reading room briefly to make photocopies of relevant pages; however, when they do so, they are asked to leave their names and university I.D. cards with the program secretary.

Readers are requested not to mark books and materials in any way. Underlining, highlightin, and notes may be distracting to others.
