a current listing of contents Volume 4, Number 4,1984 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 listing of contents Volume 4, Number 4, 1984 Periodical literature is the cutting edge of women's scholarship, feminist theory, and much of women's culture. 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 wish to subscribe to a journal or to obtain a particular article at her library 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 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 wi11 have table of contents pages reproduced in each issue of FP. .The annotated 1isting provides the fol lowing information on each journal : Year of first publication. Frequency of publication. U.S. subscription price(s). Subscription address. Current editor. Editorial address (if different from subscription address). International Standard Serials 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 periodicals 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. Nor, with the exception of Ms., do we incl ude newsstand magazines. We are also forced to omit periodicals which 1ack a complete table of contents. We encourage feminist serials to build a full table of contents into their regular format to facilitate the indexing femi nist 1i terature sorely needs. Interested readers will find more complete information on feminist periodicals in Guide to Women's Publishing by Polly Joan and Andrea Chesman (Paradise, CA: Dustbooks, 1978) ; The Annotated Guide to Women ' s Periodicals in the U.S. edited bi-annually by Terry Mehlman (5173 Turner Rd., Richmond, IN 47374); The Index/Directory of Women's Media publ ished annually by the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press (3306 Ross Place, NW, Washington, 06 20008) ; and in Women's Periodicals and Newspapers: A Union List of the Holdings of Madison Area Libraries, edited by James P. Oanky, 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 overlooked, cancel lations, or other pertinent information.
