August 22--Free Web Seminar on Ithaka's Research Program: How New Technologies Affect Higher Ed

Created by Peggy Kurkowski (EDUCAUSE) on August 15, 2008

Ithaka's research group studies how new technologies are affecting higher education and how colleges and universities can best manage these changes in four discrete program areas: providing academia with the policy basis needed to transition effectively and responsibly away from print collections and toward increasingly electronic-only collections; helping information-services organizations meet the needs of scholars by understanding their changing attitudes and practices; improving the community's understanding of how new information resources drive teaching and learning practices; and analyzing strategies for the most effective possible dissemination of knowledge from colleges and universities to researchers, students, and other learners.

In this free August 22 EDUCAUSE Live! web seminar, The Strategic Impacts of New Technologies on Higher Education: Ithaka's Research Program, presenter Roger Schonfeld, manager of research, Ithaka, will review these areas of work and highlight some key findings, encouraging discussion about these and other key strategic issues facing higher education.

Those unable to attend may wish to visit the archives after the event or browse related EDUCAUSE resources on Digital Collections, Electronic Content Delivery, Electronic Resources, Library Planning, and Scholarly Communication.
