Sheehan, Mark C. Higher Education IT and Cyberinfrastructure: Integrating Technologies for Scholarship (Research Study, Volume 3). Boulder, CO: EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research, 2008.

"This 2008 ECAR research study explores higher education’s involvement in five areas of research-related information technologies: high-performance computing resources, cyberinfrastructure applications and tools, data storage and management resources, advanced network infrastructure resources, and resources for collaboration within virtual communities. The report, which is based on results of a quantitative survey of 369 U.S. and Canadian colleges and universities and consultation with cyberinfrastructure experts and 12 university executives and technical staff members, discusses who uses, who provides, and who funds cyberinfrastructure resources as well as how important each technology is and will be to research and teaching."

- SCOAP3: A New Model for Scholarly Communication
(source: ARL, 08/04/08)
The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) has published an online preprint essay by Ivy Anderson, Director of Collections, California Digital Library, encouraging libraries to support SCOAP3, the Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics.
SCOAP3 is a new model for scholarly communication proposed by a community of scientists. Physicists interested in expanding access to their literature have designed a novel approach to garner support from individual libraries, library consortia, research institutions, and even nation states to turn a core set of journals in the high energy physics discipline into open access publications.

On n'y est pas encore... chez nous...

"Dès la rentrée académique d'octobre prochain, les étudiants et professeurs de la VUB et de l'ULB pourront accéder gratuitement au réseau internet sans fil. Durant l'été, le campus sera équipé de quelque 90 antennes Wi-Fi qui permettront dès le mois d'octobre aux étudiants, enseignants et aux visiteurs de l'Université de surfer sur internet ou de lire leurs courriers électroniques."
