Preparing for the Revolution

Preparing for the Revolution: Information Technology and the Future of the Research University identifies those information technologies likely to evolve in the near term (a decade or less) that could ultimately have a major impact on the research university.

Book Description

The rapid evolution of information technology (IT) is transforming our society and its institutions. For the most knowledge-intensive entities of all, research universities, profound IT-related challenges and opportunities will emerge in the next decade or so. Yet, there is a sense that some of the most significant issues are not well understood by academic administrators, faculty, and those who support or depend on the institution s activities. This study identifies those information technologies likely to evolve in the near term (a decade or less) that could ultimately have a major impact on the research university. It also examines the possible implications of these technologies for the research university its activities (learning, research, outreach) and its organization, management, and financing and for the broader higher education enterprise. The authoring committee urges research universities and their constituents to develop new strategies to ensure that they survive and thrive in the digital age.
