Scope and Content of Collection
The Community Organization and Research Institute was formed in 1972. It is now known as the Institute for Social, Behavioral
and Economic Research (ISBER). ISBER mission statement, from
http://www.isber.ucsb.edu/ms :
"While most other ORUs have a relatively well-defined identity forged around a common research specialization, since its inception,
ISBER has been intentionally organized to serve a broad range of interests, promoting interdisciplinary work that often blurs
the boundaries among the social sciences, the humanities, the behavioral sciences, and, in some cases, the physical and life
sciences. In this regard ISBER has played a crucial role in efficiently administering contracts and grants which otherwise
would have encountered difficulty if housed elsewhere.
"ISBER's researchers represent a wide range of social science and other research concerns. This is evidenced in the intellectual
diversity of ISBER's fourteen Centers, including Centers for the Advanced Study of Individual Differences, Communication and
Social Policy, East Asia, Evolutionary Psychology, Global Studies, Health Data Research, Information Technology and Society,
Meso American Research, Middle East Studies, Police Practices and Community, Michael D. Palm Center, Spatially Integrated
Social Science, the Study of Religion, and Social Science Survey Center (and Benton Survey Research Laboratory)."
