About the Information Futures Commission
The Information Futures Commission will develop a strategy that positions the University as a leader in the application of scholarly information and technologies to underpin next-generation research, teaching, learning and knowledge transfer, binding the strands to achieve the Growing Esteem vision.
Under the guidance of a Steering Committee chaired by the Vice Chancellor, the Vice Principal Information will lead a broad process of consultation to develop an inspirational, coherent and deliverable 10-year strategy.
This Information Futures Strategy will guide the development of the University’s scholarly information services, collections, systems, technologies and infrastructure. External and internal expert advisors will play critical roles in this process.
A report will be presented to Academic Board in June before presentation at the July 2008 meeting of University Council.
A more detailed implementation plan and budget will be presented to Planning and Budget Committee at the annual planning conference in late July/early August 2008.
