Trans-disciplinary Collaboration, Qualitative/quantitative Rapprochement
When: Sunday, July 9, 2000, 9:30am - 12:00pm
Social scientists seem to be rediscovering each other through cooperative research, work in common research arenas, and use of similar data now almost ubiquitously available. At the same time most are rediscovering the interconnectedness of research on the populations they study.
This panel asks whether this will be a persistent pattern and what librarians need to know as facilitators. We have invited administrators/researchers from two University of Chicago research centers who work across disciplinary boundaries as well as two librarians at who are dealing with data use and interdisciplinary research at Yale University to discuss what kinds of cooperative bonds have been, are, and can be formed between librarians and researchers in our increasingly electronically complex information and data-full world.

The Jane Addams' Hull-House Museum, owned and operated by the University of Illinois at Chicago, is a historic site and memorial to Jane Addams, her innovative settlement house programs and associates, and the neighborhood they served. Housed in two original Hull-House buildings, the Museum is an internationally recognized symbol of multicultural understanding, educational innovation, social service, urban research, social reform and a commitment to humanitarian concerns. Restored by the University in the mid-1960s, the two building Hull-House complex is both a National and Chicago Historic Landmark.
