David Conn" Sender: trad-l Discussion List From: "W. David Conn" Subject: General Reading To: Multiple recipients of list TRAD-L Joanne Eustis kindly brought my attention to the following series of executive briefings. You might want to look at #7 in particular, since it summarizes one of the reports (Dolence and Norris) that partially inspired the direction of our strategic self-study. The URL is: http://cause-www.colorado.edu/collab/heira.html ************** HEIRAlliance Executive Strategies Series The HEIRAlliance Executive Strategies series was designed to keep chief higher education executives informed about critical issues related to information technologies. Focus issues,identified by the executive officers of the three sponsoring associations, include the integration of information resources on campus, impacts of networking in higher education, and the role of technology as an agent of change in university libraries. The four-page reports are usually based on background papers prepared by teams of executives from colleges and universities with particular expertise in the designated subject. Reports to date include: Report #1: Integration of Information Technologies on Campus Report #2: Future of University Libraries: Technology and Scholarly Communication Report #3: Impact of Networking on Campus Report #4: Payoff on the Information Technology Investment Report #5: AAU Action Agenda for University Libraries Report #6: Evaluating Institutional Information Resources Report #7: The Transformation of Higher Education *********************************************************** W.
