Abstract
This study examines young-carer-related materials in Japanese university libraries through analyses of C codes and the Nippon Decimal Classification (NDC). Although most materials are classified within the social sciences, they span multiple disciplines and formats. Disciplinary biases in collection development may reduce access to information for university student carers, who are often difficult to identify. Enhancing multidisciplinary collections can support student awareness and function as a form of quiet, anonymous student support.
