Opis

The study of other countries or regions of the world often crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries in the humanities and social sciences. Supporting Research in Area Studies is a comprehensive guide for academic libraries supporting communities of researchers. This book explores the specialist requirements of these researchers in information resources, resource discovery tools, and information skills, and the challenges of working with materials in multiple languages. It makes the case that by adapting their systems and procedures to meet these needs, academic libraries find themselves better placed to support their institutions' international agenda more widely. The first four chapters cover the academic landscape and its history, area studies librarianship and acquisitions. Subsequent chapters discuss collections management, digital products, and the digital humanities, and their role in academic projects. The final chapter explores information skills and the various disciplinary skills that facilitate the needs of researchers during their careers. * Describes the nature of area studies research and the traditional strengths of area studies librarianship in supporting inter- and trans-disciplinary research* Applies the latest thinking in research support in university libraries to the specific needs of the area studies research community in the United Kingdom and United States* Explores how internationalizing systems and processes can bring broader benefits to the university as a whole* Analyzes the particular issues caused by working with content and systems in multiple languages
