Coming up shortly are some opportunities for you to engage with others in the University community to discuss ideas for our scholarly information strategy.
In late April we will facilitate a series of exploratory workshops to frame the broad objectives of the strategy. Participants will examine draft statements outlining possible strategies and their implications informed by an understanding of Growing Esteem aspirations, external changes, our existing capabilities and feedback to date. These workshops are themed around the strands of the triple helix.
In early May focus groups will look in more detail at the actual things we would like to implement, including what these would look like in practice and how they might make Melbourne a leader in the provision of, and support for, scholarly information. These focus groups are themed around the key areas likely to be affected by our strategy – people, content and collections, and infrastructure (physical and virtual).
If you’d like the opportunity to discuss your views with small groups of others, we would encourage your participation in an Exploratory Workshop or a Focus Group.
