Library Support Expanded for Interdisciplinary Programs

The Boston College Libraries have historically supported interdisciplinary study and teaching indirectly by providing services and resources for disciplines involved in interdisciplinary programs. In order to meet the growing importance of interdisciplinary scholarship and the development of the interdisciplinary programs at Boston College, the Libraries offer additional resources and services specifically focused on supporting these programs. Before this year, African and African Diaspora Studies, Irish Studies, Latin American Studies, and Gender Studies were programs identified for special attention from Subject Librarians. This year, we have added Asian Studies, Environmental Studies, Islamic Civilization and Societies, and Jewish Studies.

The Subject Specialists for these eight programs are:

African and African Diaspora Studies: Adeane Bregman, adeane.bregman@bc.edu, 617-552-3136
Asian Studies: Nina Bogdanovsky, nina.bogdanovsky@bc.edu, 617-552-1058
