One of the Claremont Colleges Libraries ’
greatest resources for primary
documents is not located any where
near Claremont, but lies almost 1800
miles away, in Chicago, the Center
For Research Libraries ( CRL). CRL is a
library cooperative that houses materials
held by few other libraries in
North America. Such resources as
older and current foreign newspapers,
dissertations from foreign universities,
government documents
from around the world, rarer journals
and magazines, and microform sets
focusing on everything from missionaries
to labor organizations in South
Africa during apartheid are available
to students, faculty, and staff by virtue
of the Libraries’ CRL membership.
There are two major ways of
exploring CRL’s holdings – by clicking
on the Center for Research Libraries
button after you’ve done a search in
Blais or by visiting the CRL website at

Becoming Paul M. Churchland ( 1942-): NeuroPhilosopher
Brian Keeley, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Pitzer College
Philosopher Paul Churchland, currently nearing the end of his second
decade in residence at the University of California, San Diego, has long
been what is generally quite rare: a cutting- edge academic philosopher.
Professor Keeley will show how Churchland's " new" and " radical" ideas grew
quite naturally out of the more traditional philosophers who influenced him.
