Feminist Periodicals : A Current Listinq of Contents is publ ished by the Office of the Women's Studies Librarian-at-Large on a quarterly basis with the intent of increasing public awareness of feminist periodicals. It is our hope that Feminist Periodicals will serve several purposes: to keep the reader abreast of current topics in feminist literature; to increase readers' familiarity with a wide spectrum of feminist periodicals; and to pro- vide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wjsh to subscribe to a journal or to obtain a particular article at her 1ibrary or through inter1ibrary loan. (Users will need to be aware of the limitations of the new copyright law with regard to photocopying of copyrighted materials. ) Table of contents paqes from current issues of major feminist journals are reproduced in each issue of Feminist ~eriodi cal s , preceded- by a comprehensive annotated listinq of a1 1 journals we have selected, As publ ication schedules vary enormously , not every periodical wi 11 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. Editorial address (if different from subscription address). International Standard Serial 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 publications which, though feminist in philosophy, do not focus solely on women's issues. Plor, 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 Guid by Polly Joan and Andrea Chesman (Paradise, CA: Dust ted Guide to Women's Periodicals 1 in the U.S. edited bi-annually bys 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. Please 1et us know about new subscriptions, subscriptions we have over1 ooked, cancel lations, or other pertinent information.
