Following its establishment at the 1970 ALA Annual Conference at Detroit, the Social Responsibilities Round Table Task Force on the Status of Women in Librarianship started, in part, to collect and to share information about equal opportunity and responsibility for women in the library field.<\/p>\n

Women in Libraries, (1970-)<\/h1>\n

Women in Libraries (Record Series 49\/2\/11<\/a>) began as a single-column, multiple page packet of Task Force announcements and news. From the first volume to the present day, every year has featured progressively increased news coverage expanding beyond the task force and membership to include national and regional library profession news, as well as conference or symposium announcements. Visually, the layout has changed too. Volumes Four, Five, and Ten feature redesigned banners, while the fifth through fourteenth volumes used color paper and dark ink.<\/p>\n
