This guide is intended to provide students of gender, feminist, and queer studies find resources to support their research. This guide also provides resources for campus support centers and communities, and other local communities and advocacy programs for women and LGBTQ+ folks.
For interdisciplinary subjects like queer and gender studies, the library's discovery tool, Start My Research, is often the best bet

Full-text database providing perspectives from 1970 to the present on the evolution of the women's movement, men's studies, the transgender community, and changes in gender roles.

Be sure to be aware of the date of your information. The date of statistical information is always important; in addition, laws change, attitudes change, and new issues become important. Feminist style and rhetoric has changed. To understand older feminist material, even older second-wave material, you must be aware of its historical and cultural context.
Keep in mind that material about women and gender may be located nearly anywhere in the library -- women musicians in the music section, women writers in the literature section, women mathematicians in the mathematics sections. Also remember that material by or about women may be written from many standpoints; it may be feminist, liberal, conservative, or radical. As with information on any subject, you have to consider the point of view of the author and how that affects the value you will place on the information.
