Malire Lozada (left), a sophomore at UC Santa Barbara, and Pauline Nguyen (right), senior at UC Irvine, accessed IFC Special Collections to further their research with Professor Judy Wu, Asian American Studies, UC Irvine, on the involvement of Asian American and Pacific Islander women at the 1977 International Women’s Conference.

The IFC Library houses a growing collection of gender and women’s studies books and films that are available to students, faculty, and staff at The Claremont Colleges. Books and films may be checked out or viewed at our library, Vita Nova 106, Scripps. We also have senior theses, magazines, and other resources.

IFC accepts requests to purchase films related to gender, women’s studies, and feminist issues for curricular use.  Please send requests to ifc@scrippscollege.edu.

The Claremont Colleges Libraries will also purchase films on request; visit https://library.claremont.edu/suggest-purchases/.
