About this group
Charge
The Global and Area Studies Interest Group is a discussion and knowledge sharing group that provides a forum for Library employees to address issues related to supporting teaching, learning and research about specific world regions and countries, as well as international and global studies broadly. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: collection development, collection management, digitization, metadata and discovery issues, campus partnerships, and fundraising. The interest group uses the email discussion list throughout the year and may schedule open forums, likely no more than three times per year.
