Treatment of women s issues may be found throughout the Library of Congress classification system. As practiced at the University of Cincinnati the women s studies library budget is used chiefly for concentrated collecting in the HQ call number ranges. Bibliographic works about women or that touch on women s issues are also collected. Such works generally fall within the Library of Congress Z call numbers. The monographic allocation for women s studies does not permit active retrospective collection building.
Emphasis is placed on the acquisition of current monographic materials.
The women s studies collection benefits from the retrospective collection development of other disciplinary areas however, notably that done by history and English and, to a lesser degree, the Romance and Germanic languages. The women s studies collection contains works suitable for upper division students, graduate students, and faculty research. Textbooks are infrequently collected, if at all. Because of its interdisciplinary nature and the support that women s studies receives from other areas of the collection, the Romance and Germanic languages are well represented in the overall women s studies collection. Works in Greek are to be found in the Classics Library.
