Collection Equity Award Y3 - University of San Francisco

The Collection Equity Award would allow Gleeson Library at the University of San Francisco to expand print and electronic monograph resources specific to disability studies, disability justice, and the health of people with disabilities. Our disability studies collection is currently limited, and would benefit from targeted, intentional collection development. Given that disability studies is interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary, a disability studies collection would support the learning and scholarship across campus and throughout the USF community. Students and faculty in the School of Nursing and Health Professions, the School of Education, and the College of Arts and Sciences would benefit from a more robust disability studies collection. In addition to being interdisciplinary, disability studies is also intersectional– disability intersects with race, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic status and other identities and experiences.
