Journal Article
The case for chick lit in academic libraries
2008
Overview
Purpose - The purpose of this article is to prove that chick lit is a legitimate and important area of collection for academic libraries.Design methodology approach - This article presents a definition of chick lit with an overview of the origin and significance of the term itself, discusses chick lit's impact on publishing, and its relationship to academia and women's writing.Findings - Chick lit is an important area for libraries to collect in because it is representative of women's writing in the twentieth-twenty-first century, and because it is a cultural and economic force in the publishing and entertainment worlds.Practical implications - This article presents guidelines on building a chick lit collection.Originality value - This article provides a perspective on chick lit lacking in the literature aimed at academic libraries. A search of Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA), Library Literature and Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts (LISTA) reflects the dearth of articles on this specific topic.
