Abstract
  • This study describes a content analysis of the websites of interdisciplinary research centers co-located on and associated with university campuses. The purpose of the study was two-fold; first, to determine whether the information needs of interdisciplinary research centers were indicated on their websites, and second, whether these needs appear to be met by current academic library partnerships or services. Little evidence was observed of services or partnerships between academic libraries and interdisciplinary research centers. This analysis fills a gap in the literature, as research on the relationships between interdisciplinary research centers and academic libraries has been limited. The study uses a small sample of twenty-five websites in order to develop themes and categories upon which later research might be based.
