History of the Office of the Women's Studies Librarian
The Office of the University of Wisconsin System Women's Studies Librarian was created in 1977 to serve students, faculty, librarians, and administrators across the UW System. Located on the Madison campus, the office reaches out to all UW campuses through its many regular and special publications, reference assistance, and professional presentations and consultation. The Office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Since 1989 the Office has been a constituent program of the UW System Women's Studies Consortium.
