Selected Bibliographies compiled for the University of South Carolina Eighteenth Annual Women's Studies Conference, March 17-18, 2005 Looking Back, Stepping Forward There are hundreds of web sites added each month. There is information on almost everything. Some of it is useful, some of it misleading, and some just for pure enjoyment. For this web bibliography I ve tried to find some sites that will compliment the theme for this year s conference and some sites just for fun. Since web sites can be very fleeting, as soon as any list is published, the URL or web address may have disappeared by the time you go to look for the site. Try a Web Browsers to see if the site has been moved to a new URL or perhaps you can find a new web site of equal value.
