American women: a Gateway to Library of Congress Resources

"[T]his is not merely a presentation of digital materials, but a gateway to doing research on the history of women in the US... [T]he Web site...offers information on doing on-site research at the Library of Congress. Users are guided through searching LC catalogs, finding digital materials in the American Memory collections and other LC online exhibits, and finding relevant Web broadcasts. Each of the LC collections is described in the context of women's history resources and how to search and use the specific collections. Links are provided to online finding aids and relevant external sites. Introductions and use guides are illustrated with LC holdings, but emphasis on types and categories of materials makes this an excellent research guide to libraries in general."
