We created this digital library in hopes that we could begin to
address
the problem raised by Lundin in her seminal 1996 study. This digital
library briefly examines the contributions of 58 of the 60 women mentioned in
Lundin's work. Specifically, we examined all of the
women included in Lundin's original study plus 16 of the 18 women that the
educators surveyed felt should be considered in future studies. The task
of finding biographical information for each of the 58 women turned out to be a
lot harder than we expected. Some of the biographical sketches in this
digital library are more thorough than others. In addition, several
of the women we researched are continuing to completely elude
us. This digital library was created to partially fulfill the requirements
for INLS 341, Seminar in Public Libraries, offered by the School of
Library & Information Science at the University of North Carolina,
Chapel Hill. However, we have both become extremely interested in this
topic and plan to maintain this website even after the class is
finished. Please feel free to contact us if you have any comments,
questions, or suggestions.
