This bibliography was created in 2004 with several audiences in mind: women's center professionals who were interested in best practices; individuals who wished to contribute to the women's centers' literature; and those interested in learning more about women's centers in U.S. higher education. Over the years, the literature about women's centers has grown, and so has the bibliography, which is updated on an annual basis.
