Online Databases: Four Searchable Databases About Women’s History and Position of Women in Society

These databases are provided by the Institute for Women's History (Aletta) located in Amsterdam. Content is in English, Dutch, or both languages.

Databases (All Free to Access and Search)

1. Mapping the World of Women’s information Service

For anyone looking for more information on the situation of women in a specific country, the Mapping the World of Women’s Information Services database is a good place to start. It contains addresses and information on more than 400 women’s information centers from around the world.

2. Websites on Women

The Websites on Women database contains 2,000 Web addresses of websites that deal with women’s issues

3. Articles

Since 1988, Aletta has maintained a catalog of articles on women’s rights and empowerment and women’s history. The catalog includes articles from Dutch and foreign periodicals and professional journals and currently contains thousands of titles – a growing number of which can be read directly online.

4. Photographs and Posters

The image archive at Aletta contains more than a hundred years of women’s history in the form of photographs and posters. The majority of the archive is available online and can be ordered in digital format.

Links to several other databases (primarily Dutch language content or only available to members) but still worth a search or two). Some material is available for purchase.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
