Campus Informatics:

Collaboration for Knowledge Management

Grant generously funded by Andrew W Mellon Foundation

March 2003 - July 2004

 

One of the major contributions that a university or college makes to the world at large is the research output of the faculty and staff researchers. The research data of an innovative faculty member is valuable, precious, and at risk. This project focuses on the digital research data of the faculty and critically examines the storage, maintainance, cataloging, and collaboration efforts in order to gauge the informatics needs on campus. The project team utilizes surveys, personal interviews, and roundtable discussion with leading, innovative, and interdiscplinary faculty and staff researchers on campus. The project team recommendations and findings will be presented in a research oriented white paper and a shorter, more concise, report to the campus made available to the campus community through this web site and at the technology board meetings.
