Abstract
Academic libraries advancing transnational feminism
This paper discusses a successful example of how academic libraries can support the global women’s rights movement and impact social change. The recent collaboration between the Margery Somers Foster Center of the Rutgers’ University Libraries and the Center for Women’s Global Leadership (CWGL) and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department, both of the School of Arts and Sciences, resulted in the creation of the “CWGL Poster Collection,” an open-access portal providing access to approximately 300 posters, with corresponding metadata, published by women’s rights organizations worldwide and housed at CWGL. and housed at CWGL. The posters chronicle twenty years of transnational women’s activism and advocacy, while also documenting the visual culture of the global women’s movement. The “CWGL Poster Collection” resides digitally in RUcore, Rutgers Community Repository, where its content will be preserved for future generations.Bibliotecas académicas que promueven el feminismo transnacional
