College of Information Studies

dbarlow umd.edu, thahnumd.edu
ISSUE FOCUS:
This special issue will spotlight the lives and
contributions of remarkable
women pioneers in information science. Papers may be about
women whose field
of specialty and accomplishments fall in a wide variety of
areas—documentation, classification, standards, information
retrieval,
library technologies, LIS education, social epistemology,
information use,
information policy, STI, or other. A paper may address a
subject’s
leadership, innovation, advocacy, research, or other
significant
contributions, and should place the subject historically in
her social,
cultural, and professional context. Further, bios should
show the
relationship of her particular specialty to the larger
discipline.
Possible subjects for bios are Jean Antes, Henrietta Avram,
Marcia Bates,
Helen Brownson, Toni Carbo, Elfreda Chatman, Pauline
Atherton Cochrane,
Diana Crane, Susan Crawford, Edith Ditmas, Margaret Egan,
Madeline (Berry)
Henderson, Mary Herner, Karen Sparck-Jones, Barbara Kyle,
Lotsee Patterson,
Phyllis Richmond, Jane Robbins, Claire Schultz, Jean
Tague-Sutcliffe,
Winifred Sewell, and Martha Williams. These individuals are
named as
examples. We welcome papers on other women pioneers in
information science
as well.
Please note: We will give first consideration to articles on
women whose
careers have ended and whose total contributions and
accomplishments can be
assessed.
