5. BiblioFem and the Fawcett Library

BiblioFem A key bibliographic tool for retrieval of information on women is BiblioFem, a combined catalogue and bibliography on microfiche. As a catalogue, BiblioFem is a record of the book stock and more recently acquired non‐book materials of the Fawcett Library (excluding archival materials, ephemera, etc.). It also incorporates the holdings of the Equal Opportunities Commission Information Centre. The Equal Opportunities Commission was established by the British government in 1975 under the provisions of the Sex Discrimination Act, to promote equality of opportunity between women and men and to work towards eliminating discrimination against women on grounds of sex or marital status, especially in the fields of employment and training.
