I a current listing of contents Published by Susan Searing, Women's Studies Librarian-at-Large, University of Wisconsin System 112A Memorial Library 728 State Street Madison, Wisconsin 53706 (608) 263- 5754 a current listinn of contents ' Volume 3, Number 2, 1983 Periodical 1i terature is the cutting, edge of women's scholarship, feminist theory, and much of women's culture. Feminist Periodicals: A Current Listinq of Contents is published by the Office of the Women's Studies Librarian-at-Large on a quarterly basis with the intent of increasinq public awareness of feminist periodicals. It is our hope that Feminist periodicals wi 11 serve several purposes: to keep the reader abreast of current topics in feminist 1i terature; to increase readers ' familiarity with a wide spectrum of feminist periodicals; and to pro- vide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wish to subscribe to a journal or to obtain a particular article at her library or through interlibrary loan. (Users will need to be aware of the 1 imitations of the new copyright law with regard to photocopying of copyrighted materi a1 s .) Table of contents pages from current issues of major feminist journals are reproduced in each issue of Feminist Periodicals, preceded by a comprehensive annotated listing of all journals we have selected. As publ ication schedules vary enormously, not every periodical will have table of contents pages reproduced in each issue of FP. The annotated 1isting provides the following information on each journal : Year of first publ ication. Frequency of publication. U.S. subscription price(s). Subscription address. Current editor. Editori a1 address (if different from subscription address). International Standard Seri a1 s Number ( ISSN) . Library of Congress (LC) catalog card number. OCLC, Inc. Control Number. Locations where the journal is held in the UW system. Publications in which the journal is indexed. Subject focus/statement of purpose of the journal. Please note that in the actual text, only the numbers 1 to 12 are used to identify the different categories of information. ii. Our goal is to have represented in FP all English-language feminist periodical s with a substantial national or regional readership, with an emphasis on scholarly journals and small press offering. We do not in- clude pub1 ications which, though feminist in philosophy, do not focus solely on women's issues. Nor, with the exception of -Ms., do we include newsstand magazines. We are also forced to omit periodicals which lack a complete table of contents. We encourage feminist serials to build a full table of contents into their regular format to facilitate the indexing feminist 1i terature sorely needs. Interested readers will find more complete information on feminist periodicals in Guide to Women's Pub1 ishing, by Polly Joan and Andrea Chesman (Paradi se, CA: Dustbooks, 1978) ; The Annotated Guide to Women ' s Periodical s in the U.S. edited bi-annually by Terry Mehlman (5173 Turner Rd., Richmond, IN 47374); The Index/Directory of Women's Media published annually by the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press (3306 Ross Place, NW, Washington, DC 20008); and in Women's Periodicals and Newspapers: A Union List of the Holdings of Madison Area Libraries, edited by James P. Danky, compiled by Maureen E. Hady, Barry Christopher Noona, and Neil E. Strache (Boston: G.K. Hall, 1982). Suggestions for improvement of Feminist Periodicals are gratefully received. We would particularly appreciate assistance from readers in the UW-System with our efforts to keep the holding information complete and up-to-date. Pl ease 1et us know about new subscriptions, subscriptions we have over1 ooked, cancel lations, or other pertinent information.
