Abstract
New College (small liberal arts college) prides itself on its flexible environment for multidisciplinary study. Students can declare multiple AOCs (areas of concentration), in multiple Divisions (schools). We sought to develop a tool that visualized this multidisciplinarity using readily available metadata. ThesisLink visualizes 50 years of thesis metadata, providing an alternative way to explore multidisciplinarity in undergraduate theses. Multidisciplinarity is defined as having multiple areas of concentration (for example, Computer Science and Literary Studies). Visualize thesis distribution across divisions (schools) and areas of concentration (programs) Showcase library capacity with respect to digital projects to promote collaboration Strategic purpose for administrators interested in visualizing multidisciplinarity at New College
