Claremont University Consortium (Claremont Colleges Library)

The Claremont Colleges Library’s Visual Curriculum Mapping (VCM) project focuses on visualizing the interconnected learning communities of Claremont McKenna College, Claremont Graduate University, Harvey Mudd College, Keck Graduate Institute, Pitzer College, Pomona College, and Scripps College (the 7Cs). The project addresses the rapidly shifting landscape of libraries and higher education and will result in production and archiving of web-based interactive maps. This work will support information literacy across the curriculum and explore opportunities for library community and capacity building at the 7Cs. The maps will provide a foundation for an annual bird’s-eye snapshot of how the 7Cs coincide academically, highlighting strategic points for library intervention among students and faculty and providing the diverse academic communities with a value-added means of identifying shared opportunities and challenges.
