Exploratory workshops, 23 April to 1 May 2008
Students and staff of the University were invited to participate in a series of exploratory workshops to explore ideas and issues relating to scholarly information and technologies.
The first stage of the consultation process focused on opening up the issues, exposing the complexity of the environment and the opportunities and challenges before us. In this way we hoped to elicit a wide range of views and opinions and ensure that we explored all the significant issues.
From 23 April to 1 May we held a series of exploratory workshops to frame the broad objectives of a 10-year strategy for scholarly information and technologies at this University.
The workshops examined draft statements outlining possible strategies and their implications. These were informed by an understanding of Growing Esteem, external changes, our existing capabilities and feedback to date. The sessions were themed around the strands of the triple helix.
