CSSSI

The Center for Science and Social Science Information (CSSSI), a collaboration between the Yale University Library and Yale Information Technology Services (ITS), is now open at 219 Prospect Street on the concourse level of the Kline Biology Tower. Located in a fully renovated space, the former location of the Kline Science Library, the Center incorporates the services of the Kline Science Library, the Social Science Library and the ITS StatLab. The CSSSI represents a new level of partnership between ITS and the Library and will provide state-of-the-art information services in a technology-rich environment.

The CSSSI project was initiated in 2008 when the Yale Corporation approved the expansion of Yale College through the construction of two new residential colleges on the site that includes 140 Prospect Street, the previous home of the Social Science Library and the ITS StatLab. It has created the opportunity for Yale to enhance services to the Science and Social Science communities at Yale and to create new, technologically complete collaboration spaces for students.
