A Brief History of Boston CollegeBoston College was founded by the Society of Jesus in 1863,and is one of twenty-eight Jesuit colleges and universities inthe United States. With three teachers and twenty-twostudents, the school opened its doors on September 5, 1864.At the outset and for more than seven decades of its firstcentury, the college remained an exclusively liberal artsinstitution with emphasis on the Greek and Latin classics,English and modern languages and with more attention tophilosophy than to the physical or social sciences. Religionof course had its place in the classroom as well as in thenonacademic life of the college.

Originally located on Harrison Avenue in the South End ofBoston, where it shared quarters with the Boston CollegeHigh School, the College outgrew its urban setting towardthe end of its first fifty years. A new location was selected inChestnut Hill, then almost rural, and four parcels of landwere acquired in 1907. A design competition for the develop-ment of the campus was won by the firm of Maginnis andWalsh, and ground was broken on June 19, 1909, for theconstruction of Gasson Hall. It is located on the site of theLawrence farmhouse, in the center of the original tract ofland purchased by Father Gasson, and is built largely ofstone taken from the surrounding property.

Later purchases doubled the size of the property, with theaddition of the upper campus in 1941, and the lower campuswith the purchase of the Lawrence Basin and adjoining landin 1949. In 1974 Boston College acquired Newton College ofthe Sacred Heart, a mile-and-a-half from the main campus.With fifteen buildings standing on forty acres, it is now thesite of the Boston College Law School and dormitorieshousing over 800 students, primarily freshmen.

Though incorporated as a University since its beginning, itwas not until its second half-century that Boston Collegebegan to fill out the dimensions of its University charter. TheSummer Session was inaugurated in 1924; the GraduateSchool of Arts and Sciences in 1925; the Law School, 1929;the Evening College, 1929; the Graduate School of SocialWork, 1936; the College of Business Administration, 1938.The latter, along with its Graduate School established in1957, is now known as The Wallace E. Carroll School ofManagement. The Schools of Nursing and Education werefounded in 1947 and 1952, respectively. Weston Observa-tory, founded in 1928, was accepted as a Department ofBoston College in 1947, offering courses in geophysics andgeology.

The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences began programsat the doctoral level in 1952. Now courses leading to thedoctorate are offered by twelve Arts and Sciences depart-ments. The Schools of Education and Nursing, the CarrollGraduate School of Management, and the Graduate Schoolof Social Work also offer doctoral programs.

The Jesuit Community at Boston CollegeWith nearly 130 members, the Jesuit Community at Boston College isamong the largest in the world and is certainly the largest in anycollege or university. Forty-nine Jesuits work full-time at BostonCollege, 31 on different faculties and18 in administrative positions.One third of the community consists of Jesuits nominally retired fromacademic work at Boston College, but many of these still teach andwork in administrative posts on a part-time basis. A number of Jesuitsin the community also offer Ignatian retreats and spiritual direction tofaculty, staff, and students. Also part of the community are some 25Jesuits from 17 different countries who are studying for graduatedegrees at the University and several visiting scholars from otherinstitutions. The main community residence is St. Mary’s Hall, butthere are also six smaller communities around the perimeter of thecampus. Five Jesuits live in the residence halls. The Jesuits who staffSt. Ignatius Parish are also a part of the Boston College JesuitCommunity. For further details, including a list of courses taught byJesuits at Boston College, see the Jesuit Community web page athttp://fmwww.bc.edu/SJ

Also excluded are the Nursing Loan Program ($267,450 during1999-2000), a variety of grants and scholarships from fraternal organizations and clubs ($3,800,000 during 1999-2000),and loans processed by the Financial Aid Office ($82,004,000 during 1999-2000) for undergraduate students, graduatestudents, or their parents.Source: Financial Aid Office

Special Library ServicesNew Library Information SystemThe Libraries migrated to a new Web based state of the art integratedlibrary system in June 2000. This new system is a flexible and opensystem with transparent interface to other systems and databases whichallows for easy resource sharing capabilities. It provides expandedaccess to the Libraries’ collections, databases, and services. The newsystem provides a variety of methods for searching the Boston Collegeonline catalog which includes books, periodicals, media materials,microforms, newspapers, and links to electronic materials atwww.bc.edu/quest. QUEST can easily be searched from any Webbrowser regardless of platform or location, 24 hours a day, seven daysa week. Users can interact with the system and receive immediatefeedback on the status of requests; they can place a hold, recall, orrequest rush processing for a new book right from their desktop. Userscan also initiate and track requests for document delivery and interli-brary loan transactions, and may renew materials that are currentlycharged to them. The Web interface and expanded catalogingcapabilities allow unprecedented access to over 183 Web accessibledatabases, to full text journals, and to digital collections such as theLiturgy and Life Collection of the John J. Burns Library.

Digital ResourcesThe Boston College Libraries offer access to hundreds of databases viathe Web and in CD-ROM format. A growing number of these databasesand journals provide full text access directly to the researcher’sdesktop. A complete listing of all online databases available through theLibraries can be found by selecting Online Databases on the Resourcesmenu of the Libraries home page: www.bc.edu/libraries.html. Thedatabase list includes groupings by subject and an alphabetical listingby title. Many databases can be launched directly by clicking on theweb links. All other listings provide information explaining exactlywhere to access the databases. These can usually be accessed in theElectronic Information Center in the O’Neill Library or the Law Library.Many of these resources are fully cataloged and you can link directly tothem from a record in the Boston College Libraries Catalog(www.bc.edu/quest). Databases range in coverage from verygeneral to very specific and cover a wide range of research areas in thehumanities, social sciences, sciences, health sciences, business, law,and public affairs. An expanding number of links to electronic journalsmay also be found under the Resources menu by selecting theElectronic Journals link.

Most databases available through the Boston College Libraries arerestricted to the Boston College community. In order to access thesedatabases from off campus, you need to log in as a verified BostonCollege community member. This can be done in one of two ways:using the modem pool (617-552-2790) or using the VPN (VirtualPrivate Network) software which allows access to the Boston Collegenetwork and the Libraries’ databases using commercial Internet serviceproviders. For more information, check out the Computing andCommunications page: www.bc.edu/infotech.

The Libraries also support an expanding digital collection of specialand rare materials such as the Thomas P. O’Neill, Jr. Photographs, theLiturgy and Life Artifacts collection and the Boston Gas CompanyPhotographs via the John J. Burns Library Rare Books and SpecialCollections web page: www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/ulib/Burns/.

Librarians offer classes in how to search databases effectively, byarrangement with professors, and also provide individual coaching atvarious library service points or by appointment. Researchers whocannot locate resources needed may contact a librarian to develop asearch strategy to locate relevant information. See the list of SubjectBibliographers to know which librarian to contact:www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/ulib/ref/subspec.html.

Interlibrary LoanThe Interlibrary Loan Service is offered to students, faculty, administra-tors, and staff to obtain materials not available in the Boston CollegeLibraries. Books, photocopies of journal articles, microfilm, theses, andgovernment documents may be borrowed from other libraries. Exceptfor unusual items, the waiting period is from one to four weeks. Foranyone willing to use the material at the holding library, a computer-ized system at the reference desk will provide locations. Requests canbe made by using electronic forms available on the Libraries’ web siteor by visiting a library.

Boston Library ConsortiumThe Boston College Libraries are part of the Boston Library Consor-tium, a group of area libraries which includes Brandeis University,Boston University, Brown University, Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology, Northeastern University, Tufts University, University ofMassachusetts System, Wellesley College, as well as the Massachu-setts State Library, the Boston Public Library, and the Marine Biologi-cal Laboratory at Woods Hole. Faculty may apply for a Consortiumborrower’s card at the Reference Department in O’Neill Library in orderto borrow directly from the member libraries. Access to thesecollections will be enhanced as the Consortium introduces its VirtualCatalog in 2000/2001. The Virtual Catalog will allow searching of allConsortium libraries with the ability to request delivery of books toBoston College. Ask at O’Neill Reference for more information.

Association of Research LibrariesIn October 2000, the Libraries became the 112th member of theAssociation of Research Libraries. Membership in ARL is limited toresearch institutions sharing common goals, interests, and needs. Themission of ARL is to shape and influence forces affecting the future ofresearch libraries in the process of scholarly communication. Member-ship is by invitation upon the recommendation of the Board ofDirectors and approval of the membership.

United States Government PublicationsBoston College is one of 1,350 Federal Depository Libraries locatedacross the United States. As a Depository, the O’Neill Library receivesthousands of government documents in print, microfiche, and elec-tronic formats, and makes them available to the general public. Manygovernment publications are now available via the Web or in CD-ROMformat. Further information may be found on the following web page:www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/ulib/ref/govdocs/Govdocs.html.Questions about the O’Neill collection and the availability of govern-ment documents should be directed to the Government Documents andMicroforms staff on the first floor of the O’Neill Library.

Faculty may conduct media classes in either of our twoclassrooms. There is a Faculty Preview Room for faculty meeting withsmall groups or previewing media materials. Loans of videos arerestricted to BC faculty.

New England Library Information Network/OCLCThrough membership in the New England Library Information Network(NELINET), our users have on-line access to publishing, cataloging,and interlibrary loan location information from the data bank of OCLC,Inc. which contains over 43 million bibliographic records from theLibrary of Congress and other national libraries, and from over 27,000other libraries worldwide.



John J. Burns Library ofRare Books and Special CollectionsThe University’s special collections, including theUniversity’s Archives, are housed in the magnificentlyappointed Honorable John J. Burns Library, located in theBapst Library Building, north entrance. These distin-guished and varied collections speak eloquently of theUniversity’s commitment to the preservation and dissemina-tion of human knowledge. The Burns Library is home tomore than one hundred thousand volumes, some twelvemillion manuscripts, and important collections of architec-tural records, maps, art works, photographs, films, prints,artifacts, and ephemera. These materials are housed in theclimate-controlled, secure environment of Burns eitherbecause of their rarity or because of their importance aspart of a special collection. While treated with special care,these resources are available for use at Burns to all quali-fied students, faculty, and researchers. Indeed, their use isstrongly encouraged, and visitors to Burns are alwayswelcome, either simply to browse or to make use of thecollections.

Though its collections cover virtually the entire spectrum ofhuman knowledge, the Burns Library has achieved interna-tional recognition in several specific areas of research, mostnotably: Irish studies; British Catholic authors; Jesuitana;fine print; Catholic liturgy and life in America, 1925-1975;Boston history; Caribbeana; Balkan studies; and Congres-sional archives. It has also won acclaim for significantholdings on nursing, detective fiction, Thomas Merton,Japanese prints, Colonial and early Republic Protestantism,and banking.

Some of the significant collections at Burns include:The Aylesford Press CollectionBanking Archives: Hibernia Savings Bank, Union Warren, The

Provident Institution for Savings, the Yankee Bank forFinance and Savings, and the Savings Banks Associationof Massachusetts

Information TechnologyInformation Technology manages Boston College’s computing, communications, and electronic information resources. Itprovides leadership in shaping technology plans and strategies to support the mission and goals of the University. BostonCollege’s campus technology environment is a highly integrated voice, data, and cable television network with high-speedconnections to all classrooms, offices, and residence hall rooms. The University’s three-year plan to implement wirelesstechnology was launched in 2000, with wireless service now available in most academic and administrative offices. The entirecampus will be blanketed with access points by the end of 2002. A Virtual Private Networking capability was introduced duringthe summer of 2000 to enhance current off campus access to computing resources. And, in keeping with InformationTechnology’s commitment to web-enabled services, the Tech Products Store was converted from a physical to a virtual store atthe end of the Fall semester. A new look and feel for the Boston College web sites was approved, and the Alumni Online site wasthe first to be published using the new format. The Information Technology organization itself – about 140 strong — underwentsignificant restructuring during 2000, in a move to support better the rapid implementation of applications and infrastructure.
