As an academic discipline, Peace Studies, is a recent, highly interdisciplinary phenomenon. Notre Dame's program, located in the Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies and served by the Kellogg Kroc Information Center (KKIC), uses the University Libraries' resources in Political Science, History, Theology, Anthropology, and Sociology among other disciplines -- in all forms and formats, e.g. print, microform and online books, journals, newspapers, newsletters and government documents. Peace Studies is also a heavy user of the Libraries' Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery services. "Recommended Resources" (below) list only interdisciplinary sources of interest to ALL Peace Studies research. For discipline specific resources, please consult "Related Disciplines," "View all Peace Studies Resources," or "Other Peace Studies Resources."
