Context, Creativity, and Collaboration: Redefining Computing Spaces through Relationships at the University of Chicago

Home / Project Briefing Pages / CNI Spring 2003 Project Briefings / Context, Creativity, and Collaboration: Redefining Computing Spaces through Relationships at the University of Chicago

April 9, 2003

Chad Kainz
Senior Director, NSIT Academic Technologies
University of Chicago

What started in 1998 as an unfunded ìgood willî study by the Biological Sciences, John Crerar Library, and Networking Services & Information Technologies to define a next-generation public computing cluster has, in five years, transformed the relationship of central IT and the Library, redefined the role of public computing on the University of Chicago campus, and enabled new ideas on how technology, content, expertise, and space relate to one another.

This briefing will highlight the issues and themes behind the USITE/Crerar Computing Cluster & CyberCafe, review the outcomes, and look at how it has influenced current thinking on the role of technology and space both within the Regenstein and Harper libraries and across campus.
