Institutional Cyberinfrastructure Joan K. Lippincott Coalition for Networked Information

A Time of Great Change  Technology environment  Scholarly communication  Student style/skills  Way people work  Expectations

For research, teaching & learning, we are dependent on:  High speed networks  Computer equipment  Access to print and digital content  Tools and software  Support from knowledgeable staff  Technology-enabled facilities

Working together, these form the  Institutional Cyberinfrastructure

NSF Report on Cyberinfrastructure

NSF and Cyberinfrastructure “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.” Report of the NSF Blue Ribbon Advisory Panel on Cyberinfrastructure
