Do you collect trivia? Got a thirst for quotable factoids?
You’re not alone!
In our conversations with peers and colleagues, the Information Futures Commission project team are often asked, “Where’s your evidence?”
It’s a natural question: we are, after all, working in an academic environment ;-) Because it’s good business practice, the Commission wants to make evidence-based recommendations about policy and strategic directions for the University’s scholarly information.
Big spreadsheets of benchmarking statistics, trend data or survey results are often hard to read and understand.
In an effort to stimulate conversations — and remind ourselves of nifty ideas — Mark, Linda, Sally and I have started collecting our favorite factoids and turning them into an online slideshow.
We will be updating the Fabulous Facts slideshow at least once a week during April and May. To see the current version, visit the Fabulous Facts page on the Information Futures Commission web site — share, comment, tag and enjoy!
