1. Alice in Wonderland, or, Through the Looking Glass; Resources for Implementing Principles of Affirmative Action Employment of Women.

Author

Wheeler, Helen Rippier

Abstract

The annotated bibliography of resources for implementing principles of affirmative action employment of women consists of an alphabetical listing of 64 references of periodicals, organizations, films, books, pamphlets, tapes, slides, and microfilms. In a three-page introduction to the problem, the author defines an affirmative action program as "a set of specific result-oriented action-commitments and procedures designed to systematically achieve an equitable redistribution of both sexes (and other protected classes) within a workforce." The author further sees the program as one containing goals and timetables so that the workforce distribution takes place as soon as possible within a prescribed time period, with major program emphasis on the recognition and removal of barriers, identification of persons unfairly excluded or held back, and action enabling them to compete for jobs on an equal basis. Disparate treatment of sexes, wage differentials, and harrassment are singled out as examples of specific charges typically needing to be filed by females in institutions without affirmative action programs or with token programs. The author also stresses open advertising policies that communicate news of specialized employment opportunities to all qualified women. (Author/EA)

2. Placement Services in Accredited Library Schools.

Author

American Library Association Social Responsibilities Round Table. and Wheeler, Helen Rippier

Abstract

A questionnaire was mailed to the chief administrative officer of each of the fifty-one accredited library schools in the United States at the beginning of January 1973 by the Committee on Accreditation of the American Library Association. The purpose of the questionnaire was to determine the type of placement services offered by the library schools because library schools seem to provide the main access to employment for many professional librarians and for most new graduates beginning their careers. Specifically, the questionnaire sought to determine the status of women in librarianship and what role the placement services have played regarding female librarians. The tabulated results of the questionnaire, which show that library school placement is not generally socially responsible (i.e., is sexist), are included along with a copy of the questionnaire.

6. For-Credit, Undergraduate, Bibliographic Instruction Courses in the University of California System; with Consideration of the Berkeley Campus' Bibliography 1 Course-Program's History as a Model.

Author

Wheeler, Helen Rippier

Abstract

The University of California (UC) system campuses provide various bibliographic instruction courses in behalf of undergraduates' needs. At the University of California, Berkeley, a new experimental course was offered by the library in the fall quarter 1968: "Bibliography 1-X: How to Use the University of California Library" (Bib 1). From fall 1968 through spring 1985, approximately 12,000 undergraduate students completed the course. It has been administered by the American Library Association (ALA)-accredited graduate School of Library and Information Studies, even though it is unrelated to the professional programs of librarianship and information science. Bib 1 began as a four-credit elective bibliographic instruction course offered in multiple sections each quarter, and was later changed to three credits each semester. Taught by a staff of university librarians, doctoral students, and other persons, it has attracted students from all levels, but especially lower division and transfer students. It has also attracted people outside the campus. This paper describes its history, which is unique in its combination of durability, attachment to a professional library school, volume of enrollment, relatively small classes, popularity, and acceptance in the local academic structure.

7. Japan-America Connections: Knowing about Japanese Women.

Author

Wheeler, Helen Rippier

Abstract

Winning the 1985 "Media and Women" Course Outline Contest awarded by the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press, this course syllabus covers a semester-long interdisciplinary course on Japanese women and feminism as they are portrayed in the media and through the study of bibliographic references relevant to the topic. Objectives listed by the author include recognizing and documenting the universality of sexism, learning concepts and practicing skills associated with evaluation, use of research tools, and viewing-listening of all forms of media. Types of media listed include commercial and independent, print and non-print, traditional and feminist. While the syllabus includes researching and using standard library tools, the course also introduces the student to feminist bibliographic resources, and includes an introduction to on-line searching and data bases. Also included are lectures on Japanese history and women, discussions and readings on the similarities and differences between Japanese and American women, the development of media portfolios on course-related topics, and book reviews of feminist books. An appendix includes an extensive bibliography, a filmography, and seven pages of bibliographic exercises related to course subject matter. (CBC)

Author

Wheeler, Helen Rippier

Abstract

Details examples of prejudice, suggesting underlying reasons for the same, on the part of professional librarians concerning distribution of the Women's History Research Center's microfilm series.
