The JISC/CNI Meeting 2004
Overview
• Scenario - how are users meeting their
information and technology needs?
• Cyberinfrastructure - what do we need
besides the facility
• Integrated facilities - what kinds of
services are incorporated?
• Collaboration - what does it really
mean?

What does an institution need?
A cyberinfrastructure, or seamless
teaching, learning, and information
environment.
• User-centered
• Not silo-centered
The JISC/CNI Meeting 2004
“The emerging vision is to use
cyberinfrastructure to build more ubiquitous,
comprehensive digital environments that
become interactive and functionally complete
for research communities in terms of people,
data, information, tools, and instruments that
operate at unprecedented levels of
computational, storage, and data transfer
capacity.”

Northwestern University 2East
“The 2East Technology Series is
intended for faculty who want to take
advantage of the teaching and research
capabilities of digital media, course
management systems, online archives,
advanced visualization technologies,
electronic journals, and other emerging
technologies.”
The JISC/CNI Meeting 2004
Located on the second floor of the Vassar College Main Library, the Media
Cloisters is a state-of-the-art space for collaborative learning and the
exploration of high end technologies.
The cloisters serves as the "public sphere" for networked interaction, the
gathering place for students, professors, and librarians engaged in planning,
evaluating, and reviewing the efforts of research and study utilizing the
whole range of technologies of literacy. In this way, the Cloisters channels
flows of research, learning and teaching between the increasingly networked
world of the library and the intimacy and engagement of our classrooms and
other campus spaces.
In the Cloisters, course development, class-based projects, and research
necessarily become communal, interactive processes, engaging colleagues,
students, information specialists, and a networked world of like-minded
scholars, artists and media practitioners in active "programming" and
explorations.

Indiana University Information Commons
“Today’s great universities provide access to
information that will expand teaching and
research. IUTS staff, with their expertise in
technology, and Librarians and Library staff,
with their expertise in information access,
worked together to design the IC with the goal
of providing students with the services, tools,
and the support they need to succeed
academically and to prepare them for careers
after graduation.”
