Resumen: Issues concerning women have assumed a wider dimension. Many activities have been carried out to alert governments, governmental and non-governmental organizations, political, social and economic and academic institutions about the problems of women in general. One of such activities was The United Nations Decade for Women 1975-1985, a period set aside by the United Nations to create a widespread awareness in the whole world on issues concerning women.

Resumen: This article reports the results of a written survey of ninety-seven female and male adolescents, ages fourteen through seventeen, at two U.S. public libraries. In addition to exploring gender-related variance in the reasons for which teenagers use public libraries, the survey investigated how frequently the respondents needed information relating to twelve major topic areas and how useful they considered public libraries in helping them to find information relating to these topics. For the most part, the results indicated no significant gender difference in the respondents' reasons for using libraries or in their frequency of information needs. The only major gender difference was the girls' tendency to rate libraries as more useful in helping them to meet their personal information needs, making public libraries 'female-friendly spaces' for adolescent girls. The authors conclude with suggestions for helping both female and male adolescents realize the full potential of public libraries and public library services.

Resumen: It may take up to two decades before research findings become routinely used in clinical practice (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2001). Librarians are uniquely positioned to maximize the accessibility of research. The author believes that research about gender biology and gender medicine needs to be integrated into clinical practice sooner than later, and that librarians can play a key role in connecting users with research. Utilizing the entrepreneurial approaches, techniques, methods, strategies, and tactics that are used for packaging and promoting their information products and services for social purpose, librarians can become social entrepreneurs. GenderBiology.net, a gateway to news and resources about gender biology and gender medicine, was created to assist information and health care professionals and consumers in this endeavor (Allison, 2006). This article provides an introduction to gender biology and medicine with selected events leading up to the concept of gender-specific medicine, as well as specific ways that librarians can become important players in getting gender-specific biomedical research information translated to real world application.

Resumen: Género gramatical y sexo no son, como muchos ingenuos o espontáneos usuarios de la lengua puedan creer, conceptos equivalentes o idénticos: hay lenguas que no han desarrollado la expresión del género; en otras, como la nuestra, no siempre el género gramatical coincide con el sexo biológico. Masculino y femenino se corresponden a menudo con las diferencias sexuales en animales y personas; pero no siempre las cosas se desarrollan de modo tan simple: son abundantes en español los casos de género común y epiceno.

I no serà fins a començaments del segle XX, amb l’obtenció de la ciutadania i el dret al vot, que el col·lectiu femení comenci a modificar els seus papers i funcions socials, incorporant-se progressivament i activa als àmbits públics d’una societat que, al llarg del segle, anirà transformant i canviant costums, valors culturals, sistemes de representació social i legislatius, propiciant en conseqüència, el reconeixement social de les dones i un millor equilibri entre homes i dones dins la societat.

Resumen: The present empirical analysis of the short texts accompanying research articles in the scientific journal Nature covering a period from 1991 to 2005, not only shows that these texts are significantly different from prescriptive models of abstracts, but that they have also recently undergone a further change. Up until 1996, in contrast to the traditionally viewed structure of abstracts (Introduction-Methods-Results-Conclusion/Discussion (IMRC/D)), the short texts in Nature vary considerably in structure with only 18% of those studied having the basic IMRC/D format and the Results being the only obligatory move. This manipulation of structure, accompanied by the predominant use of the Present and Present Perfect active, the use of modifiers, the apparent removal of hedging to strengthen claims all contribute to make these texts eye-catching, to advertise a paper’s contribution. With the introduction of the e-version of the journal in 1997, further changes occurred. Many promotional elements have been retained, and though the texts have become much more standardized in their structure, the Methods have been completely removed and the Results incorporated into the Conclusion which becomes the only obligatory move. This change in structure, combined with the inclusion of a greater amount of commentary, greater inclusion of information concerning the study’s effect of the field as a whole, and the inclusion of explicit definitions, shows an evident concern for the “general reader” and indicates a kind of “democratization” of the scientific community. Technological advancements in the field of science appear to have also contributed to these modifications coming about.

Resumen: For over fifty years a community of women whose lives have been violated physically mentally or financially have been settling down as prostitutes in a local village outside the predominantly Muslim state of Kano in Northern Nigeria. The community started with four prostitutes in 1957 but has now grown to be the largest community of prostitutes in Nigeria with 1831 living permanently in 126 houses, 78 lodgings accommodating couples on a nightly basis. Over 90% of the prostitutes are not educated at all and as such are  not aware of and do not use any protection against sexually transmitted diseases and as such AIDs is so common that patients death is no longer kept on records. Dead prostitutes are hurriedly buried in the local graveyard of the settlement.

Descriptores: Género/Lenguaje especializado

Resumen: Studies of professional genres and professional practices are invariably seen as complementing each other, in that they not only influence each other but are often co-constructed in specific professional contexts. However, professional genres have often been analyzed in isolation, leaving the study of professional practice almost completely out, except as providing context for specific analyses, thus undermining the role of interdiscursivity in professional genres and practices. Drawing examples from a range of professional contexts, in particular from business and international arbitration practice, this paper argues for a shift towards an integration of discursive and professional practices, thus emphasizing the function of interdiscursivity in critical genre analysis.

Resumen: Formalised disadvantage in female remuneration began in Australia in 1907 with the Federal 'Harvester Case' decision, which set in law the differential between male and female wages. It established a basic wage for males on the basis of their 'breadwinner' status. Further decisions of this nature followed. Throughout the second half of the twentieth century women have struggled to overcome the disadvantage imposed during the earlier decades. [This paper began life as part of the requirement for a Masters Degree at Charles Sturt University, Riverina. Subsequently revised, it was submitted for consideration in the Jean Arnot Memorial Fellowship award in 2003. The author, Irene Bonella, was judged joint winner of the Fellowship in May 2003. The other successful paper was also written on the subject of pay equity].

Resumen: New technologies offering different ways to generate and access information, as well as revolutionary changes in how (and why) we communicate, led to an effort to reconceptualize the nature of library instruction. Combining some key tenets of the information literacy movement with core feminist principles and critical theoretical approaches, two academic librarians created a course designed to explore the changing nature of information and to explode the myth of its neutrality. Through discussion of the development of the initial course proposal, the creation of the syllabus and the structure of the class, a case is presented for altering (and expanding) the role of the librarian in the classroom

Descriptores: Comunidades virtuales/Mujeres /Internet

Resumen: Burnett, Besant, and Chatman take a preliminary look at small common cultural space communication as realized in both virtual communities and in the feminist book selling community through the lenses of normative behavior theory. After reviewing the literature on both groups, they point out that analysis of archived texts make study of the behavior of virtual communities as small worlds a serious possibility, just as does the existence of Feminist Bookstore News which has provided a communication channel for some 25 years despite the existence here of some face-to-face contact as well. Normative behavior theory (NBT) is seen as providing a framework for further study of these communities. The social norm context of NBT for a virtual community can be found in FAQ files and also observed in regular textual exchanges. The social norms of the feminist bookstore are more directly observable and focused, although one prevalent norm would appear to be a resistance to socially enforced norms.

Resumen: Sociolinguistic (and some applied linguistic) research dealing with questions of gender and sexuality has undergone significant change in the past 10û15 years, as a paradigm organized around the concept of binary difference has been superseded by one that is concerned with the diversity of gendered and sexual identities and practices. Here the theoretical foundations for the shift in approachùprovisionally characterized as a kind of æpostmodern turnÆùare discussed, along with the motivations for it; three areas of empirical research illustrating its practical consequences are then examined in more detail. Some present and future challenges facing researchers in this field of inquiry are also identified and assessed.

El conocimiento de la existencia de sucesos como éstos en la vida de las mujeres de diversos países del mundo y en circunstancias diversas, nos lleva necesariamente a examinar su situación en la sociedad actual en relación, entre otras cosas, con el ejercicio de los derechos de las mujeres en todas las áreas del quehacer humano. Esto lleva, necesariamente, a examinar la teoría feminista a partir de la cual se fundamentan esos derechos.

Knowing the existence of events like this in the life of women in different countries of the world and in varied circumstances makes it necessary for us to examine women’s situation in our current society in terms of, among other things, the exercise of women’s rights in all the areas of human activity. Out of necessity, this leads into examination of the feminist theory in which these rights have their basis.

Resumen: Updating research done in 1980, the authors survey the current status of programming for women in public libraries, concentrating on the largest U.S. public libraries. The designation of National Women's History Month was assumed to provide a legitimizing factor that libraries could use to develop women's programming. Many libraries have indeed developed programming for women during National Women's History Month, but many more have planned women's programming as part of their regular offering of programs. Women's programming has been strengthened by a greater visibility of the diverse needs and interests of women, funding for programs for women, and greatly expanded publishing activity that continually provides new titles on women's issues for public library collections. Women themselves have been a catalyst for programming as they have been avid users of public libraries and often the primary audience for library programs. Although librarians seem reluctant to identify their target audience by gender, they continue to develop programming that attracts more women than men.

Descriptores: Género/Inglés para fines específicos

Resumen: Despite the impact of the ESP genre-based framework of teaching discipline-specific writing to L2 learners, especially to L2 graduate students, the writing performance of learners in such a framework is still not fully explored. In this paper, I analyze three article introductions written by a Chinese-speaking graduate student in electrical engineering. My analysis of the student’s writing samples, his annotations of his writing, his literacy narrative, and the interview transcript suggests that the student was able to transfer some previously noticed generic features into his writing. More important, his deployment of these features was motivated by various rhetorical considerations, as evidenced in his efforts to fulfill multiple purposes and to create certain projected reader responses through the rhetorical (re)organization in his writing. Based on the analysis, I argue that the significance of genre-based learning can be captured more fully through observing how learners recontextualize their genre awareness in their writing. Consequently, the goal of genre-based learning may be more productively conceptualized not only as the development of the awareness of genres, i.e., the awareness of generic features, but also the development of the awareness of genre, i.e., the increasingly sophisticated awareness of the rhetorical considerations motivating the generic features.

Resumen: The information needs of women and their views on available information have hardly been studied as a research topic or as a critical issue within the information system. It is surely a pity that the need for information and access to information for women have not been taken as a serious matter in the field of library and information services. In the Indian context it is even more so because other than the academic and scientific sector where information is a scholarly commodity and the user is a serious information seeker whether a man or a women, the information need of an ordinary woman is seldom understood or appreciated. The status of women being a major subject of debate in India is dependent on several factors. However, in this paper I wish to address the diverse factors which will ultimately influence the information seeking behaviour of women.

Resumen: Although the information needs of women receiving antenatal and postnatal care are well understood, few studies have examined the use of information by minority ethnic women. This paper describes a pilot study that aimed to identify the main maternity information sources used by Somali women living in a northern city in the UK. The study described here utilised unstructured exploratory focus group and semi-structured interviews with Somali women. All discussions and interviews were audiotaped, translated and transcribed in their entirety and then analysed using a variation of the theme analysis method. Sources of information emerged as a sub-theme from the data. Women sought and used information from several interpersonal sources. Many were dependent on general practitioners and health visitors for maternity information, although participants favoured community health forums addressed by health professionals. Women also sought maternity information from friends and neighbours. Interpersonal sources as a whole were viewed as having a number of advantages. Informal sources in particular were perceived as being approachable and providing a means through which further information could be sought, while each information source was also evaluated according to specific criteria. The implications of these findings for minority ethnic women are discussed and recommendations for further research are outlined.

Resumen: Despite the important role the personal statement plays in the graduate school application processes, little research has been done on its functional features and little instruction has been given about it in academic writing courses. The author conducted a multi-level discourse analysis on a corpus of 30 medical/dental school application letters, using both a hand-tagged move analysis and a computerized analysis of lexical features of texts. Five recurrent moves were identified, namely, explaining the reason to pursue the proposed study, establishing credentials related to the fields of medicine/dentistry, discussing relevant life experience, stating future career goals, and describing personality.

Resumen: In the Project GATE (Children's Access to and Use of Technology Evaluation), based on grades 4-8 children's responses from surveys, focus group participations, and observations in the Saint Louis Public Library, girls' attitudes toward computers and toward their skill level were equally as positive as those of their male counterparts. Girls differed little from boys in what they wanted to learn and how they used computers, with games the largest portion of observed computer use for both genders. Eighty-five parents queried by survey and ten by focus group responded very similarly about their children's attitudes and use. Juxtaposing this study with other contemporary research findings suggests that some former research results, as well as conventional wisdom about gender differences in relation to computers, no longer hold true for net-generation youth. The need for moving on beyond these already-addressed issues into more sophisticated analyses is established. The Project GATE study is unique in speaking to these gender-related questions in a public library setting. The results draw attention to the public library as a venue for studying informal use of computers and for self-generated information seeking and recreation, as well as homework-related use, in a gender-neutral environment.

 Resumen: A studentGÇÖs emerging genre mastery is a complex process which involves learning not only relevant discoursal forms, but also a wide range of specialist knowledge frames. Recent research suggests that these knowledge frames are acquired during the development of a studentGÇÖs disciplinary identity. Although disciplinary identity clearly contributes to expert genre production, the relationship between the two has to date been relatively underexplored by EAP and ESP scholars. This paper presents a framework that describes how disciplinary identity may be structurally related to the specialist genres students must learn. A case study then examines how one geology studentGÇÖs developing disciplinary identity allowed him to gradually produce a key written genre in geology with increasing expertise. The study suggests that the specialist frames he embodied within his disciplinary identity enabled him to make increasing reference to geologyGÇÖs central concerns and practices, via a typified set of implicit textual cues. Expert writers use these implicit cues to situate themselves and their level of expertise with respect to their community of practice. In conclusion, it is argued that genre-based courses should also include instruction about both the target disciplineGÇÖs specialist knowledge frames as well as the implicit cues that help readers and writers reconstruct them.

Descriptores: Mujeres /Necesidades de información/Estudio de usuarios

Resumen: Although little research has specifically focused on the information behavior of battered women, many studies designed with other intentions reveal useful insights into the role of information in battered women's lives. Studying battered women's information behavior offers insights that can serve as a basis for developing strategies to meet their information needs. This article develops an expanded version of the person-in-situation model: a 'person-in-progressive-situations' model. The proposed model creates a picture of the changes in information needs, seeking, and use at various stages in the progression of abuse. The expanded model also considers three categories of barriers that constrain the battered woman's information-seeking alternatives: personal, responsive, and situational. The model reveals many implications for librarians and other information providers seeking to address the information needs of battered women and implications for further research.

Resumen: In today's rapidly changing world of technology and information, libraries find themselves trying to understand more about their users. The results of a qualitative survey of 184 women library patrons give insight into why and how they use library and information technology and how they learned to use that technology. Women discuss what services they particularly value, including traditional services like printed books and reference, but also their appreciation and use of the Internet, including the library's Web site and databases. Trends showed that women are still the ones who bring children to the library and encourage their use of books. They also value the library as a place of solitude where they can find books or just be by themselves. Women use a variety of resources outside of the library to locate information as they make choices about how to find information in everyday life. It will be important for public libraries to discover ways to increase their role in educating women about library use, particularly electronic resources, and how to effectively locate and evaluate information from the Web and other resources so libraries can remain a vital part of lifelong learning.

Resumen:  In the global workplace, there has been tremendous growth in business processing outsourcing (BPO). Many industries are establishing call centres, back offices and other offshore enterprises in developing countries in an attempt to reduce costs. This development has far-reaching implications for language in these offshore destinations. Despite complaints about the communication skills of non-native English speaking (NNES) agents in these outsourced destinations, the language of the calls has not been well-researched. This paper focuses on one area of the BPO industry, call centre communication. We limit the discussion to calls in the insurance industry, in one offshore destination, the Philippines. In this paper, we outline the development and problems faced in offshore outsource destinations. Based on an analysis of a sample of call centre interactions, we outline their generic structure, and we investigate some of the reasons for breakdowns in communication. We use some examples from the data and discuss the linguistic realisations to illustrate what is happening in such breakdowns. The findings from the analyses are important for the development of the industry, for the training of customer service representatives, and could help us understand why frustration is experienced by many.

Resumen: This exploratory study examines the number of African American female doctoral recipients in library and information science (LIS) and their research interests in the past ten years. It enhances understanding of what African American female Ph.D. recipients plan to contribute to the LIS field through what they have found important to study in their dissertation research. These areas of study provide insight into the participation of African American women in LIS and the amount of research focus being given to information issues related to African Americans. This paper presents these data and findings within the context of diversity in doctoral education in LIS and historical issues of the participation of African Americans in LIS education. Recommendations and areas of future research generated from findings are proposed to further explore the implications of the findings discussed in this paper and to assist graduate school administrators in refining recruitment methods that will serve to attract more African American women to the LIS field.

Resumen: This article investigates lexical gender in specialized communication. The key method of analysis is that of forms of address, professional titles, and ‘generic man’ in a 10 million word corpus of written Business English. After a brief introduction and literature review on both gender in specialized communication and similar corpus-based views of lexical gender in General English, the results obtained are explained. Mixed results were found. On the one hand, the ‘male-as-norm’ principle contributes to reinforcing typical gender stereotypes: for example, for each woman referred to in the corpus, there are more than 100 occurrences for man. On the other hand, advocates of non-sexist English have also influenced written Business English: for example, Ms is more than 9 times as frequent as Mrs. and Miss, which sustains the claim that equates Ms with professional settings. This article ends by discussing the ways in which the research findings of this study could positively impact upon the teaching of Business English.

Language plurality will here be studied from an institutional viewpoint: the influence of the Canadian government on the translation of political speeches. The first part of this article will establish that political speeches are written in a bilingual environment where the two official languages are often in contact. This bilingualism, however, is often homogenised when it comes to speech delivery and publication. Therefore, the second part focuses on the speeches' paratextual features and the third looks at the speeches' textual features

Resumen: Using content analysis, this study explored the role of the literature in the diffusion of new information; the influence of the literature on the innovation-decision process; and how the concept of tie strength can contribute to a greater understanding of the role of the literature in information transmission. Diffusion of innovations and strength of weak ties theories provided the framework that informed this research, and an illustrated medical case study, changing practices related to hormone therapy for menopausal women, provided context for the study. Findings suggest that published literature impacts the innovation-decision process and thus plays an integral role in the diffusion of medical innovation to physicians and consumers; that the view of literature as a bridging 'weak tie' in a multifactor communication network allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the role of published literature in information diffusion; and that medical and lay articles are not neutral channels, they function to provide information, reinforce knowledge, and produce and shape meaning.

Descriptores: Lengua/Género/Mujeres

Resumen: El concepto de género es el concepto clave de la teoría feminista. La idea de que lo femenino y lo masculino no son hechos naturales, sino construcciones culturales, abre de inmediato la brecha por la que la reflexión feminista empieza a resquebrajar el orden ideológico establecido de la división de los sexos. Pero puede hacerlo desde presupuestos teóricos muy diferentes y a menudo enfrentados entre sí, como demuestra la existencia de vivas polémicas en torno a diferentes aspectos de la cuestión del género. Este texto pretende destacar la importancia de las aportaciones que pueden hacer al respecto las disciplinas de la estética y la semiótica. Para ello, y por razones de estrategia expositiva, se partirá de la lectura de la obra La dominación masculina, escrita por el pensador francés Pierre Bourdieu. La cuestión que articulará el texto es la del proceso de inmersión social en un mundo ordenado androcéntricamente que implica relaciones de dominación. ¿Cómo puede el individuo resistirse o enfrentarse al orden del mundo que establece el sistema de los géneros?

Descriptores: Sociedad de la información/Mujeres

Resumen: The development and use of communication and information technologies, notably the Internet, have
stimulated huge changes in the organisation of work and daily life in Europe, leading to a process of transition from the “Industrial” to the “Information” society. The ultimate aim of the Information Society should be the empowerment of all its citizens through access to and use of knowledge but at present some people, including women, are more distant than others from the opportunities presented by the Information Society. Thus, although the Internet has been hailed as an emancipating and democratising force it is not gender-neutral. Evidence of a gender imbalance in the use of the Internet threatens the vision of a democratic space to which everyone has equal access and in which everyone is equal. This paper reviews the literature on the topic of women, the information society and the Internet. It also presents selected results of Masters research projects undertaken in the Department of Information Science at Loughborough University. Specifically, the paper discusses female access to the Internet and explores some of the barriers that may prevent women having the same access as men. It also examines differences in male and female Internet use. The point is made that, very often, the negative aspects of the Internet for women are emphasised but stresses that there are, in fact, positive reasons for women to use the Internet and advantages to this method of computer mediated communication for women. Finally, the concept of Cyberfeminism is discussed. It is concluded that although there are negative sides to the technology, women must engage with the Internet if they are to help shape the Information Society.

Descriptores: Búsquedas bibliográficas/Evaluación /Mujeres

Resumen: One hundred and five women who were abused by their intimate partners described their experiences in searching for help and the outcome of their interactions with different services that comprise the formal help network in a city with an international reputation for its coordinated response to woman abuse. In the aftermath of violent incidents, the women most frequently sought protection, safe shelter, removal of their abusive partners, advice about managing their situations, a criminal charge against their partners, and medical treatment for their injuries. The women tended to use help-seeking pathways that led them first to the police or a hospital emergency department. In turn, these services often directed them toward community agencies with a specific mandate to assist abused women. The abuse-specific agencies then referred the women to a wide range of services in the community. Regardless of the type of assistance they were seeking, the women repeatedly mentioned the importance of the personal demeanor of service providers when they assessed the outcomes of their encounters with the formal help system. The findings are discussed with respect to designing community coordination mechanisms that overcome common barriers to seeking help and information.

Descriptores: Inglés/Lenguaje especializado/Género

Resumen: Among Swales’ (1996) list of occluded academic genres, retention–promotion–tenure (RPT) evaluations have been little studied. These evaluative reports, however, can inform EAP researchers, teachers, and students about ways that writers both follow and transgress discourse conventions to fulfill various purposes through an institutional text. Drawing on a corpus of 34 RPT reports from one university context, this study examines report writers’ use of ”inventive” strategies, i.e., those that playfully deviate from RPT report conventions, and factors that may encourage inventiveness. Analysis of the reports reveals that writers’ playful strategies include hyperbole, irony/humor, and informal language features. These elements may fulfill not only the reports’ conventional function of evaluating faculty but also unofficial purposes such as entertaining and showing solidarity with readers. Inventiveness is used more frequently by some report writers than others, possibly due to their individual writing styles and/or greater familiarity with the evaluated faculty member. Writers also receive license to be playful through the “uptake” (Freadman, 2002) between different levels of reports in the university’s RPT genre chain. The paper considers applications of these findings for EAP graduate writing classes.

Descriptores: Mujeres/Documentación/Producción científica/Africa/Países en desarrollo

Resumen: Purpose - Productivity in library and information entails efficient and timely information acquisition, processing, storage, retrieval and delivery. The purpose of this paper is to explore the reasons why the productivity of women in library and information should be enhanced; to describe problems which militate against this; and to highlight their future prospects. Design/methodology/approach - These objectives are achieved through the descriptive survey methodology. Findings - The finding is that, in spite of the fact that the productivity of women in Nigeria has generally been regarded as low because of traditional prejudices against women and lack of data on the productivity of women in the informal sector, the productivity of women in the library and information sector has remained high and needs enhancement to encourage them to aim higher in the profession. One way of achieving this is by getting them fully involved in information technology. Another way is government's financial support of their aspirations towards training and retraining; attendance to seminar-workshops, exchange programmes in connection with sabbatical leave appointments, etc. Research limitations/implications - For further research, this paper suggests an investigation into the implications of government's investment on women librarians for the harnessing of knowledge and information for sustainable rural development in Nigeria. Practical implications - The practical implication of the paper is that with government's focus on women librarians to tap their potentials, they will become more sensitive in their professional practice and will endeavour to show-case their enhanced productivity. Originality/value - The new value is the suggestion that women librarians should be incorporated to assist in producing national data on the productivity of women in the informal sector.

Resumen: Although few research studies to date of library and information science (LIS) distance-education students have addressed the possible effects of gender-related differences upon these students' learning experiences, the literatures of other disciplines include many significant studies of gender differences within distance education environments. This article reviews representative studies from the disciplines of education and psychology, identifying six factors that gender differences may influence: (1) motivation forenrolling, (2) learning style, (3) attitude toward and use of technology, (4) communication style, (5) level of support/sense of community, and (6) dropout or failure rate. Implications for US education are discussed.

Resumen:  This paper addresses the process of adapting to a particular culture or context a classification that has grown out of western culture to become a global standard. The authors use a project that adapts DDC for use in a feminist/women's issues context to demonstrate an approach taht works. The project is particularly useful as an interdisciplinary example. Discussion consists of four parts: (1) definition of the problem indicating the need for adaptation and efforts to date; (2) description of the methodology developed for creating an expansion; (3) description of the interface developed for actually doing the work, with its potential for a distributed group to work on it together (could even be internationally distributed); and (4) generalization of how the methodology could be used for particular contexts by country, ethnicity, perspective or other defining factors.

Descriptores: Censura/Derecho a la información/Bibliotecarios/Mujeres

Resumen: In a recent issue of American Libraries, Nancy Kranich, sitting president of the American Library Association, acknowledged the critical role that librarians play in preventing censorship and ensuring that individuals have unlimited access to all manner of information. “Librarians,” Kranich wrote “must act as trailblazers in promoting access to information, and serve as watchdogs in protecting the public’s information rights” (Kranich 7). Nowhere is the need for “trailblazers in promoting access to information” more apparent than in the area of women’s healthcare information. In the U.S. and abroad, women’s access to authoritative, clear, and thorough information about reproductive health and sexuality are increasingly under attack by religious organizations, political groups, and governmental agencies. In her essay, “Censorship and Manipulation of Reproductive Health Information: An Issue of Human Rights and Women’s Health,” Lynn P. Freedman tells us that “in the last century, contraception and abortion have been one key site of the struggle over reproductive sexuality . . . one key to controlling access to contraception and abortion is to control information about them and their uses”(31). Though censorship of information about women’s health is not a new phenomenon, it is increasingly aggressive and destructive to women and girls.

Resumen: This paper reports the results of an empirical study into gender differences in collaborative Web searching, conducted in a grade-six classroom of a Canadian elementary school. Searches undertaken by 16 same-sex groups of two or three students (six of boys, ten of girls) for information to support a class assignment were captured on videotape. The multiple search sessions took place over several weeks. An analysis of the search sessions reveals that the groups of boys formulated queries comprising fewer keywords than the groups of girls, the boys spent less time on individual pages than the girls, the boys clicked more hypertext links per minute than the girls, and in general were more active while online. The study overall demonstrates academic, affective and behavior differences between grade-six boys and girls working in same-sex groups on a Web-based class project.

Descriptores: Mujeres/Fuentes de información/Bibliografía/Edición

Resumen: Sin duda, una de las tareas imprescindibles dentro de toda biblioteca especializada es la selección bibliográfica. Ésta es la labor esencial que permite tener una colección bibliográfica viva, útil y  actualizada. En nuestro caso, las bibliotecas especializadas de mujeres hemos visto como en unos pocos años se ha incrementado incesantemente los títulos del mercado que hacen referencia a nuestro ámbito. Hasta hace poco, casi todos los libros publicados sobre la mujer correspondían a colecciones de instituciones públicas (especialmente el Instituto de la Mujer de Madrid) y a alguna editorial comprometida con la causa como Icaria, Horas y horas, etc. Eran pocas las editoriales privadas de carácter generalista que editaban estudios de género y sólo acudíamos a ellas para comprar los libros de psicología, salud, maternidad, etc. Hoy ha cambiado bastante este panorama y vemos como muchas editoriales privadas no sólo publican libros sobre el tema mujer, sino que incluso destinan colecciones al mercado. También muchas organizaciones públicas o semi-públicas como ayuntamientos, universidades, sindicatos, asociaciones de mujeres, diputaciones, seminarios de investigación feminista, etc. se han incorporado al proceso de editar libros sobre nuestra especialidad. Este crecimiento de la información en torno al tema mujer, genera además una necesidad por parte del profesional de mayor control del mercado y que cada vez dedique más parte de su tiempo a saber qué es lo que se está publicando en torno a su especialidad hoy en día.

Descriptores: Mujeres/México/Bibliotecas

Resumen: Las estadísticas universitarias mexicanas indican que en la bibliotecología, como en otras titulaciones, se está experimentando un proceso de feminización. En las aulas la presencia de la mujer ha ido en aumento, si bien faltan datos que revelen de qué manera se ha dado su inserción a la fuerza laboral. Por tal motivo, intentamos analizar la situación de la mujer académica, la que dedica desde dos horas hasta el tiempo completo a actividades de docencia en la licenciatura o en el posgrado en bibliotecología que se imparte en la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Se encuestaron 21 bibliotecólogas de origen, es decir, se excluyeron aquellas que llegaron a la docencia en bibliotecología con otra formación. Se obtuvo información sobre su nacionalidad, edad, estado civil, título o grado alcanzados, distinciones recibidas, puesto que ocupan, antigüedad docente, incluyendo la dedicación a la misma, y dificultades encontradas a lo largo de su vida profesional. Concluimos que las mujeres encuestadas han desempeñado un papel relevante en el desarrollo del campo, sin embargo, también han sido víctimas de prejuicios sociales.

Resumen:  Purpose ? The purpose of this study is to explore gender differences in the online reading environment. Design/methodology/approach ? Survey and analysis methods are employed. Findings ? Survey results reveal that female readers have a stronger preference for paper as a reading medium than male readers, whereas male readers exhibit a greater degree of satisfaction with online reading than females. Additionally, males and females differ significantly on the dimension of selective reading and sustained attention. Originality/value ? Understanding gender differences would enable a better understanding of the changing reading behavior in the online environment, and to develop more effective digital reading devices. Factors affecting gender differences in the online reading environment are discussed, and directions for future research are suggested.

Resumen: En 1998 el escritor abiertamente presenta un juego intertextual consciente con Mrs Dalloway (1925) de Virginia Woolf. El presente ensayo muestra cómo la intertextualidad subyace a la estructura de la novela de Woolf, básicamente a través de la presentación de una tríada de personajes vinculados por los fuertes lazos de su pertenencia a una comunidad literaria. Por su parte, Cunningham presenta un momento crucial en la vida de tres generaciones de mujeres a lo largo del siglo XX, en el momento en que cada una de ellas adquiere consciencia de su identidad, aunque para ello deban romper, en un esfuerzo épico de renuncia y rebeldía, las constricciones que la sociedad patriarcal les impone.

Resumen: Purpose - Women constitute a significant proportion of the Nigerian public servants. They have varied job related information needs and possess some information seeking behaviour. The study aimed to identify their job-related information needs and assess the existing office information environment. Design/methodology/approach - The survey method, using questionnaire and observation techniques were used in collecting data from 158 women in the top cadre of the federal and three selected state ministries and parastatals. Findings - The study found that most of the information needs were related to governance, education, religion, family and domestic matters. Only one-third of the respondents regarded information on women as very relevant to job performance. Newspapers, magazines, newsletters, colleagues, and conversations were the main sources of information. Although electronic sources, especially the internet were not widely available, the respondents were enthusiastic to use them. They also perceived positive relationship between good information environment and job performance. Research limitations/implications - A limitation of the study is the small sample considering that there are 36 states in Nigeria. Also, a study of all public servants, male and female, would have been better. The paper recommends an improvement to the information environment of the government establishments. Originality/value - As not many studies have been done on women in public service and their information needs and use, the findings of this study will be useful-to government and other decision makers in providing facilities and for infrastructural development to increase productivity of women and all public servants.

En una creciente sociedad de preparación técnica e informática, las mujeres que vuelven como fuerza de trabajo, mujeres pobres y mujeres en países en vías de desarrollo tienen que ser provistas con la oportunidad de obtener las habilidades necesarias para ser capaces de utilizar herramientas que aseguren su puesto de trabajo, así como instrumentos que mejoren su calidad de vida.

Resumen: Access to information and technology is a necessary tool for the advancement of individuals, communities and societies as a whole. For women in particular, unrestricted access to information is necessary not only for the acquisition of skills, but for their empowerment as individuals. In an increasingly technical, computer literate society, women returning to the workforce, poor women, and women in developing countries must be afforded the opportunity to obtain the skills necessary to use these tools to secure employment as well as improve their lives. In her speech at the World Bank and IMF Joint Library Meeting, Dr. Joan Challinor makes the point.

Resumen: This paper describes the results of an exploratory survey by questionnaire distributed via a variety of information agencies, designed to investigate women's information needs and patterns of information-seeking behaviour in relation to the European Union. The results explore women's attitudes to information and its value to them in a range of different life contexts, as well as their use of information agencies and of information and communications technologies. The results show that women value information highly and that they search for and use a wide range of categories of information in relation to education and their professional and personal life. Findings also suggest that respondents tend to predict high levels of future use of European information, in particular in relation to democratic participation and self development. Women were conscious of barriers to information access and suggested a range of measures that might improve access. They were generally positive about participating in training in the use of electronic networks and about the likelihood of their using networks to access information about the European Union.

Resumen: This paper investigates the availability of women's sites on the Internet in the light of the research that has been conducted into women, communications and technology. The paper draws upon a systematic evaluation of ten women's sites, covering a range of sectors including general sites, business, health and technology. The evaluation reveals that such sites offer useful sources of information on a range of subjects of potential interest to women and that they are stable and accessible resources. The sites tend to be freely accessible and apparently reputable, with little evidence of commercialism. However, there are concerns about the lack of security on the sites and a poor provision of the kind of information that is necessary to measure their authority and reliability. While all sites offer some form of interactivity, they tend to offer in each case only a small proportion of the interactive functions that might be enabled and demonstrate little awareness of the significance of these in helping women to network effectively.

Drawing on their experiences building the collections of the Archives of Women in Science and Engineering (Iowa State University) and the Iowa Women's Archives (University of Iowa), the authors explore how such efforts challenge traditional approaches to collecting. Proactive collecting, such as oral history projects focused on Latinas or women scientists, helps fill gaps in the historical record by encouraging people who have not traditionally been donors to participate in building and using diverse archival collections.

Resumen: The need for progressive change in people's attitudes and behaviors is essential for a communitywide acceptance of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders, and questioning (LGBTQ) individuals. This article examines our role as library and information science (US) professionals working in an academic environment to pro- mote equality of sexual minorities by taking community action and creating social awareness and acceptance on their behalf. Findings based on qualitative studies and action research conducted in the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (UTK) help identify typical barriers and challenges faced by local LGBTQ individuals toward self-fulfillment and social and political empowerment. Research participants share their marginalizing experiences that paint a picture of slow acceptance reflected in the lukewarm campus and community climate of support toward LGBTQ individuals. It forms the contextual motivation for the authors as openly gay US professionals to promote 'top ten' prioritized community actions of 'what do we need to do' and 'how do we do it' on behalf of people of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. Current directions of progress made in the UTK academic environment over a period of two years are shared in this paper. Future efforts are also identified that require extending traditional library functions of information provision to reflect contemporary nontraditional expectations of relevance that include proactive social justice efforts for libraries and US professionals to come out of the closet in support of people of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.

Resumen: The provisions for access to genres and forms of library materials in LCSH are examined through a survey of Library of Congress policy over the century. This article focuses on main headings for literature and moving-image materials, and form subdivisions. Policy documents in this area have become steadily more elaborate and explicit in their instructions, indicating an increased awareness of the importance of form and genre to the library community at large. Nevertheless, there remain doubts as to whether a general subject vocabulary is best suited to provide the full spectrum of form/genre access as well.

Resumen: This study investigates the information needs and information-seeking behavior of rural women residing in three non-urban villages in Botswana. The total population of the study was divided into two groups, opinion leaders and women residing in the three villages. The women residing in the villages were either single heads of households or married. The family situations that led them to seek information included health, agriculture, employment, family violence, and basic needs for the family. In addition, the women needed information on government aided funding, welfare subsidies and policies, and training. The sources of information used included village nurses, community welfare officers, traditional doctors, other women in the villages, village chiefs, and agricultural demonstrators.

Resumen: Purpose ? The aim of the paper is to explore and test gender differences in the authorship of Iranian journal articles. Design/methodology/approach ? A list of articles published by Iranian authors in ISI journals in 2003 was obtained from the Web of Science. The names of authors were searched in a specific database as well as the web to find their first names and hence their gender. The articles were then broken down by gender and subject category. International collaborations of the authors were also investigated. Findings ? The productivity of female authors at the individual level as measured by article per author share was lower than male authors. In total, females accounted for 6 per cent and males for 94 per cent of the articles published in 2003. A chi-square test showed that female contribution was significantly lower than expected. Originality/value ? The study is the first to investigate gender participation in scientific productivity in Iran and most likely in a Muslim country. The article highlights the need for qualitative studies on the gender aspect of scientific productivity in Muslim countries.

Resumen: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the accessibility and use of health information among primary health care providers. The study focused on women and health workers' experiences with information in rural Uganda.  Design/methodology/approach – Face-to-face interviews (82) were conducted using an interview schedule that consisted of open questions and one relating to health information critical incidents. A holistic inductive paradigm was used with a grounded theory analysis. An “Interaction-value model” emerged from the study. The model was driven by the value and impact of information, unlike previous information models which have been driven by information needs. Findings – The findings have a number of implications for improving information provision, and further research. Originality/value – This study has demonstrated that, although an information need could trigger off an information activity, the subsequent information processes could only be sustained by the value of information. The study has also shown that health workers were generally active information seekers, whereas women were mainly passive

Descriptores: Mujeres/Condición de la mujer/Cultura griega

Resumen: A continuación se propone una lectura de la tragedia Las Bacantes de Eurípides como una obra que plantea la identificación de la mujer -a través del menadismo- con la instancia de la androginia como posibilidad de breve acceso a una omnipotencia maníaca de lo femenino. Este intento desemboca inevitablemente en la usurpación identitaria de la mujer -Agavé-, tras la exclusión social que le provoca un orden moralizante que trasunta en la ideología de una sociedad patriarcal propia de la edad heroica. Además, se discutirán algunas implicancias de la androginia en los estudios de género que demarcan las teorías Queer y los planteamientos posfeministas, donde el andrógino proporcionaría la inspiración de un cuerpo político trasgresor.

Resumen: Thatcherism has probably been one of the most influential political periods in contemporary British drama because the monetarist perspective that the Prime Minister supported became an important focus of criticism for the majority of the playwrights of the eighties. On the one hand, this article exposes the central aspects of the Thatcherite vision of theatre as a new means of spreading her ideology of business and social uncommitment. Secondly, our aim is to show the revival of a new female voice in the plays of this period opposing the establishment with a completely different theatrical discourse. From Top Girls (1982) to Pravda (1985), the overview of these female characters reports the possibility of an alternative to mercantilism and a courageous attempt to change the system.

Resumen: This paper aims to examine the use of the internet among the females of Tarbiat Moalem University (TMU) in Tehran. It further aims to consider their favourite sites, issues and their attitude toward using the internet in Iran. Design/methodology/approach – The study was implemented through a descriptive survey methodology. A self-designed questionnaire was distributed and 80 valid samples were collected. The population were all females affiliated to TMU including 21 academic staff, 40 masters and doctoral students and 19 staff members. Findings – The study found that there is a significant relation between academic females' use of the internet and their social ranking. As social ranking increases the use of the internet grows. The findings also revealed that as users navigate more through the internet they would find more hidden threats and vague content. Practical implications – Some suggestions provided by this study include providing suitable web pages for females according to their needs and culture; enhancing internet access especially from their homes; providing good information pertaining to internet security and proper use; and seeking to refine Iranian attitudes to international web pages. Originality/value – The paper provides insight into a group of Iranian academic females' use of the internet. It will help researchers to achieve a closer view to such women's conditions and it is therefore of use to web developers who might design better content related to female interests especially in Iran.

This replaces raw sheer physical strength as an economic asset in today's economy. Information and communication knowledge have therefore become critical components of a successful and prosperous society.

Descriptores: Encabezamientos de materia/Clasificación bibliográfica/Mujeres/Tesauros

Resumen: To organize information, librarians create structures. These structurers grow from a logic that goes back at least as far as Aristotle. It is the basis of classification as we practice it, and thesauri and subject headings have developed from it. Feminist critiques of logic suggest that logic is gendered in nature. This article will explore how these critiques play out in contemporary standards for the organization of information. Our widely used classification schemes embody principles such as hierarchical force that conform to traditional/Aristotelian logic. Our subject heading strings follow a linear path of subdivision. Our thesauri bhreak down subjects into discrete concepts. In thesauri and subject heading lists we privilege hierarchical relationships, reflected in the syndetic structure of broader and narrower terms, over all other relationships. Are our classificatory and syndetic structures gendered? Are these other options? Carol Gilligan's In a Different Voice (1982), Women's Ways of Knowing (Belenky, Clinchy, Goldberger, & Tarule, 1986), and more recent related research suggest a different type of structure for women's knowledge grounded in 'connected knowing.' This article explores current and potential elements of connected knowing in subject access with a focus on the relationships, both paradigmatic and syntagmatic, between concepts.

Resumen: Peace is more than the absence of war, violence or conflict. The paper looks at feminist theories of peace. Since women and children are the majority persons displayed by war, they have important roles to play, both at national and international levels. Women are “beautiful souls” who love peace, with an innate ability for peace. Africa has suffered more armed conflict in the past decade. From 1960-80 Africa has fought 32 wars. Millions of lives were lost and over a million people are refugees. These conflicts, poverty and diseases have all threatened the stability of the continent. There are many concepts in peace building, amongst which a major one is creating clearer channels to disseminate information between the common people and policy makers, and this is the role of librarians, especially women librarians. Women librarians roles include provision and dissemination of useful and accurate information on peace and peace movements including NGOs, IFLA, U.N., women groups, fight for freedom of access to information, improve reading habits of women and children, organizing exhibitions/talks on peace, ensuring life-long education for women and girls, etc. It is submitted that virtual libraries provide a cheap digital bridge between male and female, and other interest groups.

Descriptores: Mujeres /Bibliotecas/Aspecto social

Resumen: National Vocational Qualifications (NVQS) and Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQS) were introduced in Great Britain in the 1980s because it was thought that increasing the skills of the workforce was the way to improve the economic health of the country; to redress the imbalance as compared to other developed countries; and to co-ordinate a growing number of 'confusing' qualifications. The Department of Education and Science in the UK set up some 160 organisations called Lead Bodies to represent occupational sectors and to lead the way in developing S/NVQs with particular responsibility for developing the standards of work-based practice for the sector. The one for the information occupational sector was the Information and Library Services Lead Body. The information sector is wide ranging and this was reflected within the Lead Body which was subdivided into the specialist areas of Information and Library Services (ILS), Archives, Records and Tourist Information. Each specialist area was represented by nominated professionals and practitioners in the field.

Descriptores: Publicaciones periódicas/Jovenes/Mujeres

Resumen: Magazines created for teenage girls are effective because of their developmental appropriateness; the relationship developed between magazine and reader represents a distinct feminine space, while the demands of the text itself are appropriate to the analytic ability of the adolescent. The inclusion of the confessional 'embarrassing story' column that has become the mainstay of the teen magazine is a unique example of the sympathetic space created between reader and text by the magazines. By examining theories of adolescent identity development and the implied effects of environment on self-esteem building, we can investigate the influence of teen magazines and their 'embarrassing stories' on adolescent girls and theorize the full impact of these texts. In addition, as we recognize magazine reading as a component of what Margaret Finders calls the 'literate underlife,' we may begin to realize the benefit of collecting these periodicals in our public and school libraries.

Descriptores: Necesidades de información/Investigación/Mujeres /Africa

Resumen:  This article reports on a study undertaken to explore the feasibility of using a participatory research approach as a method for determining information needs. Dissatisfaction with the use of quantitative methods and techniques in information needs research resulted in a gradual move towards the use of qualitative methods focusing on the users themselves in determining their information needs. Participatory research is a qualitative research methodology that challenges the principles and practices of objective, detached, quantitative research approaches. The use of participatory research methods in this project resulted in the identification of reliable and relevant information needs. These results can serve as an example for the increasing use of qualitative techniques in information needs research and affirm that participatory research methods can be a valuable alternative in the area of information needs research.

Resumen: Today peace is perceived as an absence of all forms of violence. Violence against women is interconnected with all forms of abuse against citizenry and shall be regarded as an issue of security within society. A capability of a state to provide safe environment for its citizens is no less important than its ability to protect its borders. The impact of conflict on women in Kosovo had been tremendous. According to the
data collected by the UNMIK Gender Office, and the UNFEM, ethnic-Albanian women have limited access to health care, education and employment opportunities. Many rape victims being stigmatized by their communities due to the prejudices of the traditional culture that also influence the domestic violence to stay a taboo. Women are underrepresented in every aspect of the political-administrative system,
where the area of education and libraries is of no exception: men occupy most of the positions in libraries, managerial and professional alike.

Descriptores: Bibliotecarios/Imagen profesional/Mujeres

Resumen: This article responds to Wayne Wiegand's argument that the library and information science field has failed in the past to extend its research and inquiry by exploring theoretical perspectives from disciplines outside the LIS field. It provides a brief introduction to the cultural studies approach using an application of the work of Stuart Hall to a popular and ever present cultural icon: the media stereotype of the female librarian. The film Party Girl is analyzed which contrasts two stereotypical images: the party girl and the female librarian. We argue that adopting a cultural studies approach to an analysis of a longstanding problematic image for LIS does allow a new vantage point for interpretation of media images of the profession. This wider focus allows a rethinking of the basic assumptions that have been made by the profession and acknowledges that there are potentially many different ways to see the same phenomenon, or perhaps to see phenomena for the first time, which were previously in our blind spots.

Descriptores: Inglés/Lenguaje especializado/Género

Resumen: Recent research of student writing has included a few studies of the statement of purpose submitted as part of the admission process to programs of study, which have indicated variations in expectations by disciplinary gatekeepers. These studies indicate a need for further study of statements of purpose submitted to different departments, informed by the views of disciplinary specialists. In this paper, we first report on a survey of print and electronic resources on writing the statement, which revealed that information on writing statements for specific masterGÇÖs programs is not consistently available. This lends support to the GÇ£semi-occludedGÇ¥ status of this genre. We also discuss a genre analysis of successful statements submitted to three masterGÇÖs programs (Linguistics, Business Administration and Electrical Engineering) at a university in the US, drawing on the views of informants from these departments. Our findings indicate that, although statements from the three disciplines may contain the same rhetorical moves, they differ in the constituent steps used to realize some of the moves. These findings lead to implications not only for EAP instruction but also for masterGÇÖs programs soliciting statements from prospective graduate students.

Descriptores: Feminismo

Resumen: The aim of this paper is to relate the concept of the gendered sentence that several feminist theories have developed, mainly in fiction, with the discourse of the essay. In particular, we centre on the “affiliation” theory that labels the style of an author either feminine or masculine if inserted in a dominant male or female literary tradition. In the case of Virginia Woolf, we argue that her so called “feminine” style does not depend so much on the linguistic cues and contextual factors that this theory suggests but on the essayistic nature of this type of discourse, which favours the inclusion of ideas, opinions and value-judgements that do not intend to impose an arbitrary criterion, just to offer a point of view that we can agree with or not.

However, work in the process of computerization implies great changes in the current functions of our university libraries and their personnel. New times bring into development new modes of production, processing, access and transfer of information with the help of data suitable for the functions of our organizations, and in this process the woman librarian becomes a factor of vital importance.

Resumen: La Red de Centros de Documentación y Bibliotecas de Mujeres española fue creada en 1994 y en la actualidad está formada por 37 unidades especializadas en información sobre la mujer. La red es un conjunto muy heterogéneo de bibliotecas especializadas y centros de documentación que no depende de ningún organismo administrativo concreto y que está basado en el deseo de sus miembros en cooperar y aunar esfuerzos dentro del marco informativo para el que han sido creados.

Resumen: Hundreds of English-language biographical reference books devoted to women subjects were published between 1966 and 2006. These works compensated for underrepresentation of women in standard sources and responded to the intense interest in women's lives on the part of feminist scholars. The findings in this article are derived from a bibliographic database that includes works limited by nationality, race, occupation, and other factors, as well as general biographical dictionaries. A decade-by-decade analysis reveals trends in subject content that parallel developments in the scholarly field of women's studies and the public arena. Problems with duplicative content, subjectivity, and factual errors are described, and points for evaluation are recommended. As biographical information about women is increasingly available on the open Web, questions remain about the nature and future of this type of information source.

Descriptores: Cine/Mujeres

Resumen: This paper explores the ways in which Eastwood’s film both follows and departs from the traditional conventions of the western genre by taking as a starting point two central aspects presented in the film: the question of fatherhood and the representation of women. For my analysis, I will refer to the ‘New Sensitive Guy’ trend characteristic of some 1990s Hollywood productions and will investigate the possible (or not) link between the film and this trend.

Resumen: Purpose ? The purpose of this paper is to present the findings of empirical research and focus on specific aspects of the data that relate to the concept of the 'information rich and information poor'. Design/methodology/approach ? Exploratory in nature and as such utilises an interpretive, qualitative methodology. In depth interviews and focus group interviews were analysed using tools from grounded theory methodology. Findings ? There was a positive, yet ambivalent, attitude towards new information and communication technologies (ICTs) amongst the women interviewed. It is shown that although the interview data resonates with the theory, it also differs in interesting ways that are linked to everyday experience and social contexts. Research limitations/implications ? It is clearly focussed on a particular group of individuals and could be developed on a conceptual level to refer to wider contexts. Originality/value ? It presents a 'grass roots' view of responses to technological change and life in an information society, and emphasises the variety inherent in people's interpretations of and responses to ICT.

Resumen:  The study is based on a survey inquiring into the information and communication behaviour of men and women space technologists in India. Members of a population of about 800, of whom about 70 were women, were questioned about their information seeking and transmission activities. The survey showed that on almost all aspects, including time spent on collecting information, number of contacts outside the organization, consultations with library staff, dependence on informal sources of information, and so on, there were no significant difference between the sexes. The only important differences were that women used formal sources such as library documentation and consulted internal sources of information more than men, and were much less likely to be gatekeepers. But women space technologists appeared to have low information potential in the sociometric analysis of informal contacts of the respondents, as they were less likely to be chosen for discussion, advice and information by respondents than were men space technologists.

Descriptores: Mujeres /Información/Acceso a la información/Aspecto social

Resumen:  As major gatekeepers of knowledge and culture, libraries and their decisions regarding which materials to acquire, which to ignore, and on how to make their contents accessible through cataloging and classification, codify knowledge. By virtue of such decisions, libraries have essentially controlled access to, and imposed a structure and relational value system on, all forms of information. A wide range of difficulties has hampered access to information about, by and of particular concern to females of all ages. In recent years, librarians all across the globe have ororganized to modify existing practices in libraries and documentation centers. They are working with national and international government and grassroots agencies to make information about women and girls more easily available so that public policies can be better informed on issues that disproportionately affect females. Previously, many countries did not even compile statistics on social, political, and economic indicators on females. Any national statistics kept were not disaggregated by sex. As a result, public policy was crafted to coincide with beliefs rather than facts. This paper gives an overview of activities undertaken by librarians and other information professionals worldwide over the past decade or so and currently. An impressive variety of agencies either specialize in women's information entirely or have specialized units within larger institutions that make information about women's and gender issues accessible, in paper and all electronic formats from the Internet to video and sound recordings to specialized discrete databases.

Descriptores: Animación a la lectura/Ni os/Mujeres/Género

Resumen: Librarians have always discussed methods of developing children's interest in reading, but they have focused more on the books being read than on the act of reading. Although many touted the need to "establish the reading habit," a closer reading of the literature reveals that this referred specifically to reading "good books," those which socialized children into culturally acceptable sex roles. As early as 1876, articles warned of the dangers of sensational fiction for both girls and boys. By the 1940s, comic books had replaced sensational fiction as a potential "corrupting influence." Only in the late 1950s did public librarians begin to address the new problem of a reluctance to read at all among children in general and among boys in particular. This paper will examine the effect of gender role expectations on librarians' efforts to promote reading to children in the twentieth century. In particular it will explore the questions of whether these strategies continue to be designed to promote reading literature that reinforces society's gender role expectations and of whether they are designed to promote reading to both boys and girls equally, or whether one group is privileged at the expense of the other.

Resumen: Due to computer technology, a forced-response can be easily achieved in online questionnaires and is frequently used to gather complete datasets. An Internet-based quasi-experiment was conducted on the student server at the University of Vienna to study the influence of forced-response on dropout, demographic reports, and the content of the results. Forced-response was shown to substantially increase dropout. In addition, forced-response interacted with reported sex in eliminating a naturally occurring sex difference in dropout that was observed for the questionnaire whenever responses did not need to be enforced. Also reported sex turned out to have a mediating effect on time of dropout: Men dropped out earlier than did women. Further analyses revealed a reactance effect, as predicted by reactance theory. It is concluded that data from online questionnaires with forced-response designs are in danger of being hampered by dropout and reactance.

Resumen: The purpose of this list is to aid learners of a second Romance language avoid gender confusions with their first Romance language. Mutatis mutandis, the same goes for third and fourth languages. The list covers Portuguese, Spanish, French and Italian, in geographical order from west to east on the map of Europe. The purpose is didactic, so logical elegance is mostly sacrificed to practical considerations. This list tries to tread the narrow line between completeness and prolixity. I have generally avoided the obscure. Nonetheless, I am certain to have omitted important items. This is inevitable, since there is no foolproof way to detect gender differences among cognates.

 Resumen: Es un hecho constatable que las temáticas relacionadas con la mujer, o las mujeres, gozan hoy de gran predicamento, como ponen de manifiesto la gran atención y el espacio que les dedican los medios de comunicación en general, autopistas de la información incluidas. Se habla menos en los medios de lo que Françoise Collin considera la gran novedad y especificidad del feminismo plural de los últimos años: su capacidad para generar no sólo efectos políticos y sociales, sino también resultados en el campo del conocimiento (Collin, 1993), hecho que ha propiciado la aparición de los llamados 'Estudios de las Mujeres', a los que Mary Evans califica como 'la parte académica del feminismo' (Evans, 1998: 9). como ha sido puesto de manifiesto tras el análisis y el balance realizado en el encuentro científico mencionado.

Resumen: Partiendo del comentario de un refrán popular: «Mujeres y libros siempre mal avenidos», se analizan en este artículo las razones por las que el acceso a los libros, que es tanto como decir a la lectura y el saber, ha sido secularmente vetado y/o dificultado a las mujeres, mostrando, igualmente, como, pese a todo, éstas aprendieron a leer y escribir, fueron propietarias y coleccionistas de libros, practicaron la biblioíília y propiciaron la creación de bibliotecas, que en sentido amplio podrían llamarse «bibliotecas de Mujeres». Se estudian las que smsu striclo pueden denominarse como tales: su razón de ser, sus objetivos, su origen e historia y la descripción de algunas que es imprescindible conocer. Se termina con un breve apunte sobre la presencia de las mujeres en la profesión bibliotecaria.

Resumen: As health information seekers pursue their right to know when investigating medical options, the question of reliable health information resources becomes paramount. Previous research has not addressed widely the connection between women as the health information seeker and quality health information, nor has women's awareness of specific health and medical resources been adequately evaluated. A study with a convenience sample of 119 women assessed the process of seeking health information (women's health information needs, the search strategies they employed for filling the information need, and the use of the health information found), and their awareness of specific health and medical information resources. Our survey instrument was based on Kuhlthau's Information Search Process (ISP) model. Results appeared to address the uncertainty stage of the ISP model, as there were conflicting responses regarding the facility of locating information, the usefulness of the information found, and whether or not the subjects' health questions were answered. The study also identified a low awareness by our respondents of specific health and medical information resources. There is an opportunity for health information providers to play a role in mediating at this uncertainty stage to connect health information seekers with reliable information.

Resumen: The crisis of intimate partner violence (IPV) requires a comprehensive array of government services in law enforcement, health, and social services. Impacting over 5 million victims in the U.S. annually, the beating, rape, stalking, assault, and other abuse of IPV force survivors to face multiple points of crisis. Repeatedly, most of these individuals move through separate dynamic situations that require different types of information. Building from the research literature on IPV survivors' experiences, this paper presents an original four-part framework of the Everyday Life Information Seeking (ELIS) information needs of IPV survivors. Using the person-in-progressive-situation approach of ELIS, this framework delineates 16 concrete information needs which occur throughout the four points of change: considering leaving an abuser, actually leaving an abuser, surviving after leaving, and long-term survival after leaving. Police departments are the local government first-responders most directly responsible for IPV survivors at the point of crisis. Their well-established use of community policing techniques requires police to serve as key information gatekeepers for all crime victims but particularly for IPV survivors. Police departments are examined in light of this original framework to determine the extent to which their websites address these situational information needs of IPV survivors. Using the original four-part framework as an analytic lens, this examination of 172 police department websites in the nation's 100 largest metropolitan areas reveals major gaps in provision of essential information. Solving these problems requires more than simply filling the information gaps. The fundamental approach to local e-government social service information delivery must be firmly rooted in the information experiences of individuals' situations. Findings are contextualized in terms of information theory most relevant to individuals in crisis; future research needs are delineated.
