Integrate ACNS into CSUL(Recommendation 2.b) Don Albrecht, Scott Baily, Tom Moothart, Dennis Ogg, Rusty Scott CSUL Retreat - 2.b
Analysis Overall agreement regarding The roles of central IT and CSUL will change substantially in 5-10 years We must adapt accordingly Significant potential for synergies Library services should be “core” (similar to RamCT, KFS, etc.) Best to keep ACNS “whole” CSUL Retreat - 2.b
Benefits and Risks • Benefits • Implements the strategic vision of the TF • Elevates CSUL services to “core campus” level • Adds depth and breadth to both organizations • Establishes the importance of ACNS as an academic support unit • Risks • Reorganizations are stressful and disruptive • Perceptions of service priorities • Uncertainty of status of CIO/Dean dual role CSUL Retreat - 2.b
Task Prioritization • Establish AD for Digital Services – in process • Help Desk Integration – done • Reorganization of ACNS/CSUL – Medium • Secondary to aligning CSU/CSUL budgets CSUL Retreat - 2.b
Proposed Central IT OrganizationACNS & Libraries IT CIO Dean of Libraries Library Tech Serv. ACNS Windows Middleware RamCT Networking IT Security RamTech Unix R & D CSS CSUL Retreat - 2.b
Operationalization • Conditions • Central IT departments must report to the CIO • Strategic importance at campus level • No issues reporting to Dean/CIO • Must re-evaluate should dual-role change • Interaction with campus • Informational at this time • More involvement as initiatives develop CSUL Retreat - 2.b
IR Integration - Background • IR performs System of Record reporting • IR holds the only high quality longitudinal data at the institution – our ‘institutional memory’ • Critical to preserve the data and the knowledge base in IR • IR receives support from ACNS, and synergies were obtained therefrom • IR interacting well with IS has been very beneficial (both under the CIO) CSUL Retreat - 2.b
IR Integration • Ambivalent insofar as agreement • Analysis • IR operates relatively independently from CSUL; the only synergy would be with ACNS • There is synergy with IS, under the CIO, and this should be preserved • First determine what happens with the CIO position and with ACNS • Prioritization – Low, pending decisions presented above CSUL Retreat - 2.b
Discussion • Questions and Comments are most welcome CSUL Retreat - 2.b
