College and Research Libraries Indexing Adequacy and Interdisciplinary Journals: The Case of Women's Studies Kristin H. Gerhard, TrudiE. Jacobson, and Susan G. Williamson This paper examines access to women's studies journals through standard indexes and abstracts. Reliability of coverage is important for women's studies scholars and possibly other young interdisciplines. Articles from eighty-six journals were searched in online and print indexes. Access to each journal was evaluated as adequate or inadequate based on fixed criteria. Over 60 percent of the journals were inadequately indexed. These titles should be added to appro- priate indexes; a list of specific recommendations is appended (see Appendix A). Parallel research in similar fields may allow librarians to draw generaliza- tions about access to interdisciplinary materials. • omen's studies programs have been present in American uni- versities for more than twenty years. A number of core bibli- ographies have been developed for the discipline (or interdiscipline) and list se- rial titles covering a wide subject range. The accessibility of rna terial covered in these serial titles is important for current researchers in women's studies. This paper examines access to women's stu- dies serials through standard indexing services typically found in larger re- search libraries. The authors' interest in examining the coverage provided by these sources comes from the desire to be fairly certain that the major articles in journals used regularly by women's studies scholars are being indexed in sources available in Kristin H. Gerhard is Catalog Librarian, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50011-2140; TrudiE. Jacobson is Bibliographic Instruction Coordinator, University at Albany, State University of New York, Albany, New York 12222; and Susan G. Williamson is Head Librarian, Annenberg School for Com- munication, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104. Tile data on which this study is based were collected by nine librarians. They are: Ruth Dickstein, University of Arizona; Kristin H. Gerhard, Iowa State Universih;; Carol Greenholz, College of Tech- nology, State University of New York; Judith Hudson, University at Albany, State University of New York; Mary Ellen Huls, College of St. Catherine; Trudi E. Jacobson, University at Albany, State University of New York; Bernice Lacks, California State University, Fresno; Rita M. Pellen, Florida Atlantic University; and Beth Stafford, University of Illinois. The discussions that took place as the data were collected and assembled contributed greatly to the preparation of this article. The authors wish to thank Judith Hudson, in particular, for her work as the leader of the project. A study leave granted by the Joint NYS/UUP Professional Development and Quality of Work Life Committee allowed her to organize and analyze the data which form the heart of this study. The research carried out in this project was assisted greatly by grants from BRS, Dialog and the H. W Wilson Company. Each of the aforetnentioned companies provided access to their online services at no charge to the researchers. 125 126 College & Research Libraries large academic libraries. If this is not the case, which indexes can be relied upon to provide broad and thorough cover- age? Which provide narrower coverage? Are some indexes more or less depend- able than others? This information is cru- cial to researchers in women's studies and to those who advise them. Reliable coverage is also important for those not directly involved in women's studies. Because women's studies is an interdiscipline, studies appearing in women's studies journals often have ap- plications in other disciplines. These stud- ies should be accessible to scholars not necessarily looking for research from a women's studies perspective. Another reason for adequate coverage is that many libraries weigh such cover- age heavily in selection decisions. Susan E. Searing and Joan Ariel point out: One typical criterion for adding new periodical titles is the availability of indexing. If a periodical is covered by an index or abstract heavily used by library patrons, one can predict a corresponding demand for the peri- odical. ... Regrettably, standard in- dexes continue to ignore many serials essential to women's studies .... 1 In a time of shrinking serials budgets and rising serials prices, titles not in- cluded in indexes may be particularly vulnerable to cuts. The review of the literature that fol- lows examines women's studies as an in- terdiscipline, the availability of specialized index sources for women's studies, and previous research related to coverage of women's studies journals. WOMEN'S STUDIES AS AN INTERDISCIPLINE Interdisciplinary areas such as wom- en's studies are, by their nature, difficult areas in which to conduct research. Infor- mation relevant to any given project is spread among multiple disciplines rather than concentrated in one area of the stacks, one index, or one range of the reference collection. The dispersed na- ture of relevant information and the amount of time and effort involved in identifying useful articles make index March 1993 coverage of journals in interdisciplinary fields especially important. Online in- dexes, in particular, have the potential to save researchers valuable time if those indexes cover the journals likely to con- tain material of interest to researchers in a given interdiscipline. INDEXES FOR WOMEN'S STUDIES Helen B. Josephine and Deborah K. Blouin examined reference sources on women, evaluating some existing sources and identifying gaps where additional sources were needed. Types of sources they identified as lacking for women's stu- dies included "statistical sources, ency- clopedias, yearbooks, and abstracting and indexing sources including databases." They continue: ''This is certainly not an exhaustive list of sources that need to be published in women's studies. However, the lack of adequate sources in these four areas has hampered research and frustrated librarians for years." 2 Currently, three interdisciplinary wom- en's studies indexes are available: Women's Studies Index, Women Studies Ab- stracts, and Studies on Women Abstracts. Aside from the confusing similarity of names, they share one major drawback: none is available online. However, these are the only basic indexes one can use to search for materials related to women that are published in more than one sub- ject area. The now defunct Catalyst database is the subject of several articles. This database was available through BRS and Dialog until June 1988. It provided access to the Catalyst Library's holdings, which relate to women and work. Al- though available online, it covered only a narrow band of the spectrum of mate- rials on women. Another online source, Sociological Abstracts, allows searches of a subset, Feminist/ Gender Studies (area 29). Still, there is no single online index that broadly covers women's studies journals across disciplines. Without such an index, the coverage provided in bits and pieces by the more discipline-oriented indexing services takes on particular importance. Josephine and Blouin point out that, because of the lack of a single, universal database on women, "searching the indexes, abstracts and online sources relevant to women's studies requires sophistication and per- sistence."3 As Helen Rippier Wheeler comments, "In research, as in the rest of life, feminist researchers must expect to make do with that which is available to them and to pioneer."4 PREVIOUS RESEARCH ON COVERAGE In 1984, Mary Alice Sanguinetti docu- mented increasing coverage of women's studies iri indexes from 1972 to 1982. She identified a core list of fifty-three wom- en's studies periodicals. Only about half were indexed at that time. More than a quarter were indexed by at least four serv- ices. "Eight indexing and abstracting serv- ices ... each cover[ed] five or more of the titles." 5 While one would anticipate the numbers to be better ten years later, San- guinetti's conclusions are still relevant: Librarians and researchers in women's studies will probably need to continue referring to several indexes for needed material. An awareness of where the most relevant periodicals are indexed should prove beneficial to these as well as to others with an inter- est in women's studies.6 Sanguinetti does not address the ques- tion of how she determined which jour- nals were indexed by a given service, but the implication of her article is that she worked with lists supplied by the in- dexes themselves. One of the questions that arose during this study is the relia- bility of such lists. Suzanne Hildenbrand looked at end user satisfaction of those searching on- line for topics in women's studies. She found that researchers' evaluation of search results was related to the number of raw citations retrieved and the percen- tage of citations the researchers perceived to be relevant.7 Improved coverage would likely lead to retrieval of more relevant references in these searches. One can conjecture that user satisfaction would be increased by increasing the breadth and depth of coverage of relevant jour- nals in women's studies. Indexing Adequacy 127 In another report on the same study, Hildenbrand says: Coverage problems were evident in the study but do not lend themselves to extended discussion. The wise searcher must simply note the gaps in discipline, publication format, and retrospective coverage and consider what substitutions, if any, can be made .... 8 She considered coverage of journals to be "generally good." Hildenbrand also noted that librarians "have a role in the promotion of improvements in the in- dexing, quality, and coverage of data- bases available for WS research." 9 In order to promote such improvements, librarians must first develop a clear pic- ture of the existing coverage of women's studies journals, based on a systematic exploration of that coverage. That is the main purpose of this study. METHODOLOGY The goal of this project was to analyze indexing coverage of women's studies articles for the year 1988. Data collection was performed by a group of nine librar- ians. The methodology was essentially a literature search in reverse: searchers began with journal articles and then sought indexes containing citations to those articles. Eighty-six journals were analyzed. The initial set of journals was identified by searching the sixth edition of Katz and Sternberg's Magazines for Libraries. It included all current titles listed under the following headings: Women's Studies- General; Women-Feminist; Women- Lit- erary and Artistic; Lesbian and Gay; and Afro-American. This list of journals was distributed to the nine participating librarians. Addi- tional recommendations for inclusion were also sought. The result was an ini- tial working list containing 120 titles. Once this working list was established, each journal was searched on OCLC and RUN to determine whether it was still being published and which libraries held it. The bulk of the list was divided up and assigned to individual searchers, based on access to the titles and subject 128 College & Research Libraries expertise. The remaining titles were al- lotted arbitrarily to searchers to even out assignments. As data collection began, it became clear that not all titles on the list were appropriate to this study. The group agreed to exclude certain types of mate- rial from the search process. This re- sulted in the final list of eighty-six journals. The group also devised strate- gies for dealing with differences of jour- nal type (e.g., journals consisting of book reviews versus articles). The following guidelines were used: • Newsletters, such as NOW Times or Media Report to Women, were excluded from . the search because of their inher- ently ephemeral nature, the likelihood that they would not be indexed, and the fact that, though these materials cover important issues, they do not do so in depth. • Journals consisting primarily of fic- tion, poetry, and drama were dropped from the list. This decision was not made to suggest that these literary genres are unworthy of indexing or of analysis; rather they constitute a very different category of women's studies · materials that should be analyzed in a separate study. • Journals which ceased publication during or since 1988, such as Helicon Nine, were excluded. · • In addition to articles, book reviews in journals were analyzed. In cases where a journal was devoted entirely to book reviews (such as Women's Review of Books), a maximum of twenty-five re- views from each issue was analyzed. • Although the project coverage was re- stricted to the year 1988, it was oc- casionally necessary to analyze issues from the preceding year, if a journal had been issued less than twice a year or if it was impossible to obtain all the 1988 issues. When a journal was issued more than six times a year, the searcher was asked to select six issues from 1988 to analyze. This established a minimum and maximum number of issues to be examined for each journal. • Only articles of substance were con- sidered appropriate for analysis. In March 1993 many cases, the decision to analyze was a judgment call based primarily on length and, in some cases, subject matter of the article. In looking for index citations, some searchers began with the tables of con- tents for all 1988 issues for their chosen set of journal titles; others transcribed the titles onto a work sheet and arranged the articles on it alphabetically by author. Searchers then chose indexes ap- propriate to the subject matter to search, working from a checklist. Some mem- bers of the group used Ulrich's indexing information to provide a starting point for the search. They discovered that the information in Ulrich's was not always reliably current; some of the journals said to be indexed by particular indexing sources had been dropped. If a searcher found that a journal title did not appear in an index's printed list of journals in- cluded in that index, they recorded coverage as zero. If ~he title did appear, the searcher analyzed the index for the number of articles, reviews, and so forth actually included, recording the number and percentage of items covered. Each search for citations began with known items (author, title) and followed with subject or keyword searching when the known items produced no hits. Where possible, searchers conducted an online search. At their disposal were hours of free searching provided by BRS, Dialog, and Wilson. When indexes that might be appropriate were not available in a group member's library, the titles and tables of contents were sent to other searchers to check against their index holdings and report the results. The number of indexes checked varied ac- cording to subject area, ranging from eleven for the more narrow categories of law and lesbian journals, to forty-one and forty-three for the broader categories of the humanities and social sciences. If no indexes provided coverage for a journal title or if the journal was only meagerly covered in indexes, searchers were asked to recommend names of indexes that might be appropriate for inClusion. Each individual based his or her recommendations on a set of criteria Indexing Adequacy 129 TABLEt WOMEN'S STUDIES JOURNALS IN THE HUMANITIES ,. Anima ,. Atlantis ,. Belles Lettres Camera Obscura ,.

The criteria were as follows: • Important women's studies titles should be indexed in at least one of the three interdisciplinary women's stud- ies indexes. • Titles belonging to a specific field or discipline should be indexed in at least one key index for that discipline. • Interdisciplinary women's studies journals respected for scholarly con- tent should be indexed in a broad in- terdisciplinary index such as Social Sciences Index or Humanities Index. • Periodicals or magazines not directed to an academic audience should be indexed when appropriate in a gen- eral index such as Reader's Guide or Magazine Index. The results of the search process and the list of recommendations were placed in a matrix arranged by journal title and index or abstract. A spreadsheet was used to house the matrix and to generate two lists: one with titles not requiring further indexing, and the other with titles requiring further indexing, ar- ranged by index. RESULTS The analysis that follows examines the results of the study in two ways: by jour- nals in broad subject areas, and gener- ally, by index or abstract. The questions considered include: Are individual jour- nals indexed sufficiently? Which ones are not, and where might they be in- dexed? Which indexes are doing a good job of covering women's studies jour- nals? Which ones might reasonably be expected to cover additional journals? The methodology was essentially a literature search in reverse: searchers began with journal articles and then sought indexes containing citations to those articles. The journals the authors examined fall into six broad subject areas: humanities, law, lesbian studies, social science, women's studies, and the catch-all "other." Of eighty-six titles, twenty-two were in the humanities. As shown in table 1, eight of these journals are ade- quately indexed: Camera Obscura, Gal- /erie, Hot Wire, Hypatia, Legacy, Lilith, Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature, and Woman's Art Journal. One journal, Zora Neale Hurston Forum, was not indexed at all. The remaining thirteen journals were indexed, but not fully or not in all the pertinent indexes. Six law journals were included in this study (see table 2). Those adequately in- dexed were Berkeley Women's Law Journal, Canadian Journal of Women 130 College & Research Libraries TABLE2 WOMEN'S STUDIES JOURNALS IN LAW Berkeletj Women's Law Journal Canadian Journal of Women and the Law • Harvard Women's Law Journal • Law & Inequality Wisconsin Women's Law Journal Women's Rights Law Reporter • Titles marked with an asterisk are not adequately indexed.

Harvard Women's Law Journal and Law & Inequality were not ade- quately indexed. Harvard Women's Law Journal should be picked up by a women's studies tool, perhaps Women Studies Abstracts. Law & Inequality March 1993 should be included in both women's stu- dies and other indexes. Of the six lesbian journals, only one, Lesbian Contradiction, was indexed at all, and by just one index, Alternative Press Index. The remaining five were not included in any indexes or abstracts (see table 3). Most should be included in women's studies indexes, and the authors also recommend that Alterna- tive Press Index include two more of these journals. Indeed, it is not simply the lack of indexes and abstracts that include women's studies journals that is so frustrating-it is also the unpredictable nature of the women's studies journal indexing that is done in most indexes and abstracts. The indexing of eighteen social sciences journals (see table 4) was ex- amined, and, as with indexing of jour- nals in other categories, was generally found to be inadequate for researchers attempting to find these articles by topic. Seven of the eighteen were indexed well. They were Peace and Freedom, Psychol- ogy of Women Quarterly, RFR, Sage, Sex Roles, Women and Environments, and Women & Therapy. Male/Female Roles was not included in any index or ab- stract; because it contains only very brief articles, this was considered appro- TABLE4 WOMEN'S STUDIES JOURNALS IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES • Ahfad Journal • Feminist Teacher • Gender & Society • Hecate Male/Female Roles * Manushi • Minerva • Mothering Peace and Freedom Psychology of Women Quarterly RFR Sage Sex Roles • Studies in Sexual Politics • Woman of Power Women and Environment • Women & Politics Women and Therapy • Titles marked with an asterisk are not adequately indexed .

Mothering .was similarly not in- cluded in any index or abstract even though it has significant content. The remaining journals should be more fully indexed than they currently are. Twenty-two journals the authors ex- amined were grouped into the women's studies category (see table 5). Eight of these journals were well served by in- dexes. They were Broadsheet, Broom- stick, Canadian Woman Studies, Feminist Issues, Signs, Women's Review of Books, Women's Studies, and Women's Studies Quarterly. Three jour:- nals did not receive any coverage: Femi- nisms, Feminist Bookstore News, and Sojourner. Accessibility of the material in most of the remaining eleven journals would profit from indexing beyond what is currently being done. The "other" category was made up of twelve journals, ranging from Executive Female to Hurricane Alice, from Reproduc- tive and Genetic Engineering (now Issues in Reproductive and Genetic Engineering) to Women's Sports and Fitness (see table 6) . Four of the twelve, Affilia, Executive Female, Healthsharing, and Women & Health, were sufficiently indexed. Hurri- cane Alice, Tradeswoman, and WLW Jour- nal were not indexed by any of the numerous indexes and abstracts that the authors checked. Because it contains pri- marily personal essays, memoirs, and reviews, the authors considered the lack of indexing for Hurricane Alice rea- sonable. The remaining five journals were insufficiently covered. Because of the large number of index- ing tools examined, a report on which indexes include which journals is not practical. A chart of the journals and the indexes in ·which they were found are available from the authors. Sanguinetti's "Indexing of Feminist Periodicals" in- cludes a similar report. Her report covers a smaller number of services than those included in this study.

A list is appended of indexing tools and the women's studies titles they could reasonably be expected to add based upon their audience and scope (see Appendix A). The authors recommend that many of the indexes and abstracts pick up just one or a few additional titles. However, the authors also recommend that Alternative Press Index, General Periodicals Index (Aca- demic Version), Humanities Index, MLA Bibliography, and Social Sciences Index add five or more women's studies titles. These are widely used indexes and ab- stracts with the potential for broad im- pact on the accessibility of women's studies literature. To avoid duplication, the authors' guideline is to suggest that scholarly journals not yet covered by a women's studies index be added to Women Studies Abstracts, and that more general women's studies journals be added to Women's Studies Index. Indexes specific to women's studies could also be strengthened. To avoid du- plication, the authors' guideline is to suggest that scholarly journals not yet covered by a women's studies index be added to Women Studies Abstracts, and that more general women's studies jour- nals be added to Women's Studies Index. Accordingly, the authors recommend that Women Studies Abstracts add eight titles. This abstract is already an essen- tial tool for doing women's studies re- search. Many researchers rely upon it heavily, expecting it to be inclusive. The addition of these journals would help the abstract merit the reputation it al- ready has. One of these eight journals, Lesbian Ethics, is not currently indexed anywhere else, while the remainder would logically be included here as well as elsewhere. Women's Studies Index, the new G.K. Hall tool, should pick up another nine titles, three of which are not currently indexed. The authors recommend that Studies on Women Abstracts add three titles, and more fully index another three. March 1993 CONCLUSIONS The overall finding of this study is that most women's studies journals, fifty-three out of eighty-six, are not sufficiently in- dexed. While several indexes and abstracts (notably Alternative Press Index, Women Stu- dies Abstracts and Women's Studies Index) are doing a commendable job in this regard, other indexes and abstracts are ignoring relevant journals or are only picking up a small percentage of articles within a given journal. Indeed, it is not simply the lack of indexes and abstracts that include women's studies journals that is so frustrating-it is also the unpredictable nature of the women's studies journal in- dexing that is done in most indexes and abstracts. For example, American Humani- ties Index indexed five out of twelve articles from the fall 1988 issue of Anima, but in- dexed none from the spring 1988 issue. Occasionally, an index indicates that it covers a particular journal (for example, Studies on Women Abstracts in regard to Atlantis), yet no citations to articles from the journal could be found during the year examined. So the issue is not simply that more women's studies journals need to be indexed, but also that they need to be indexed more consistently. Reliability of indexing is particularly important in pre- venting researchers from believing that they have identified all relevant materi- als when, in fact, they have not. Lesbian journals seem to have been given particularly short shrift in the in- dexes the authors searched; they were the least-indexed category, despite the growth of lesbian studies in recent years. This study did not examine coverage of several important kinds of women's studies materials: media reviews, litera- ture, or coverage of newsletters in news indexes. These are potential areas for fu- ture study. Also, the authors did not ex- plicitly set out to evaluate the quality of the lists provided by indexing and ab- stracting services that give the titles they intend to cover. While the authors have noted some serious inconsistencies, the authors think this situation could be re- medied if all indexes listed the specific journal issues the indexes have included, and if indexes would adopt, as a pro- fessional standard, the practice of de- lineating their indexing policy (how comprehensively do they index, which types of articles, which not, who decides and on what basis) in their printed mate- rials. Some services already provide part or all of this information. Those which do not should give it serious consideration. The study also shows a need for a comprehensive online index for women's studies. The availability of an indexing or abstracting service specific to women's studies, online or on CD-ROM, would go a long way to enhance the ease with which women's studies scholars carry out their research. The patterns of indexing discovered in this study may be similar to those of other emerging or young interdiscipli- nary fields. It would be valuable to com- Indexing Adequacy 133 pare indexing patterns in women's stu- dies with those for fields such as socio- biology, black studies, peace stud-ies, or aerospace studies. Is indexing coverage similar? Do researchers in these fields have online indexing ser-vices available to meet their needs? The task facing an interdisciplinary re- searcher, that of gathering together the scattered information related to a topic, can be a formidable one. Improving index access to interdisciplinary materi- als is one way to reduce this burden to a manageable size. There is always the risk with interdisciplinary areas that access to some portion of their resources will fall between the cracks. It is only by examining ·the indexing of rna terials related to an area, such as women's studies, that access can be evaluated and appropriate improve- ments suggested. REFERENCES 1. Susan E.
