1. Learning Spaces and Institutional Cyberinfrastructure TRLN Information Commons Symposium February 23, 2005
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 TRLN Information Commons Symposium February 23, 2005
ACLS Commission on Cyberinfrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences “Ed Ayers has commented that much of the work of developing the Valley of the Shadow was analogous to building a printing press when none existed. Effective cyberinfrastructure for the humanities and social sciences will allow scholars to focus their intellectual and scholarly energies on the issues that engage them, and to be effective users of new media and new technologies, rather than having to invent them.” TRLN Information Commons Symposium February 23, 2005

What DO students know about technology and information? “To say that our students, having grown up with digital media in their homes and in their schools, come to (the university) already equipped with skills and knowledge of information technologies is a misconception.” McEuen, 2001 TRLN Information Commons Symposium February 23, 2005
