Disappearing disciplinary borders in the social science library - global studies or sea change?

The International Federation of Library Association's Social Science Libraries section collaborated with the Center for Global Studies and University Library at the University of Illinois and University of Toronto Library and Faculty of Information to host this conference on August 6th and 7th, 2008 at the University of Toronto.

The conference focused on changes within the social sciences and ways in which academic and special libraries can continue to provide services and resources to researchers who are working on necessarily interdisciplinary research questions within the constraints of organizational structures (universities, libraries, associations, and journals) that can’t easily support this work.
