            The  Texas  Woman's  University  Library  has  revived   its
            newsletter  DATA ENTRIES and is making it available in elec-
            tronic form through free subscription over the Internet.

            DATA ENTRIES will cover events at the Mary Evelyn Blagg-Huey
            Library  in Denton, Texas, as well as developments in public
            services and the Woman's Collection.

            Perhaps it's not surprising that Texas Woman's University in
            Denton,  Texas,  has  a "woman's" collection in the library,
            but the fact that this collection is among the finest in the
            nation.  Begun in 1932, the Woman's Collection contains more
            than 42,000 books and periodicals, 2500 feet  of  manuscript
            and archival records, and approximately 20,000 photographs.

            Historical manuscripts include the personal papers  of  Her-
            mine Tobolowsky, the "Mother of the Texas Equal Legal Rights
            Amendment," Sarah Weddington  (Roe  v.  Wade),  and  authors
            Claire  Myers  Owens,  LaVerne Harrel Clark, and Edith Deen.
            In addition, the library has collected the records of signi-
            ficant women's organizations such as the Texas Federation of
            Women's Clubs, The Texas Federation of Business and  Profes-
            sional  Women,  the American Association of University Women
            (Texas), and the Texas state archives of Delta Kappa  Gamma.
            In  addition,  to  add to its growing collection on women in
            the military, TWU acquired the records of  the  WASP,  Inc.,
            the  veterans  organization for the Women's Airforce Service
            Pilots who flew during World War II.
