- "The Women and Gender Studies Core Books database provides titles currently in print that are selected by academic librarians who volunteer to maintain a subject area. The project assists librarians in building Women & Gender Studies collections and can also serve as a guide to instructional faculty in selecting available course readings. Core titles are generally considered to be books that a library supporting an undergraduate or master's degree in Women's Studies and/or Gender Studies should own. Each list maintainer also selects the titles that are considered 'essential' in that subject area. Titles no longer in print are dropped for each subject and newly published titles are added. The Core Books database is updated throughout the year, with annual editorial oversight."--About my library, http://www.librarything.com/profile/ACRLWGSS.
- "Newly available in LibraryThing this database has a fresh new way to maintain and distribute the bibliographies that originated as the 'Core Lists in Women's Studies.' Browse the LibraryThing tags to select a subject area or perform a basic keyword search of the entire database. Searching also provides a way to retrieve a list of the most essential titles across all subjects and/or titles added in a particular year. You can also sort titles in a variety of ways and use other social features of LibraryThing to connect the WGSS Core Books titles with other LibraryThing members' collections, reviews and comments ... The ACRL/WGSS Core Books Database and Core Lists had been hosted previously by the University of Wisconsin, most recently as a part of the UW Digital Collections, and previously on the University of Wisconsin System Women's Studies Librarian's Office web site since the early days of the WWW. Prior to web access, the first year of electronic distribution of the bibliographies was through the UW Women's Studies Librarian's Office gopher site."--WGSS Core Books website, http://libr.org/wgss/corebooks.html.
