Abstract
This article profiles Cornell University, which is both a private, non-sectarian university and the land-grant institution of New York State. Cornell currently enrolls 13,300 undergraduates and 6,200 graduate and professional students at eleven colleges and schools in Ithaca and two in New York City. Beginning more than a decade ago, Cornell has become reknowned for its exellence in providing information access and enhanced service to its campus community. The University is now looking ahead with "Project 2000: Creating a Best-Managed University," and has changed its organizational structure and formed administrative and faculty advisory committees to coordinate planning among the colleges. This article is based on a visit to Cornell University by _CAUSE/EFFECT_ editor Julia Rudy.
