Red de Centros de Documentación y Bibliotecas de Mujeres: cooperación entre las bibliotecas feministas españolas

The Women’s Documentation Centres and libraries Network, formally established in 1995, links and coordinates 41 Spanish information units which are associated to various entities and are characterised by collections specializing in gender studies, feminism and women in general. Its purpose is to strengthen professional support for staff, library cooperation, solutions to common problems and the development of tools to facilitate the work of these centres. We present its origins, its evolution and development, structure and operation, plus a SWOT analysis that shows the external situation of the network and its internal features.
