• Open Content and the Emerging Global Meta-University
  Charles M. Vest
  Open-access projects are stimulating a broader open-content movement, which in turn is leading to the emergence of a meta-university—an accessible, dynamic, and communally constructed framework of open materials and platforms on which much of higher education worldwide can be constructed or enhanced.
• The Toughest IT Challenge
  Annie Stunden
  Why are many of the administrative information systems implementations in higher education so dreadful? What is the problem? It's not the software, and it's not the hardware.
• Advancing Scholarship and Intellectual Productivity: An Interview with Clifford A. Lynch (Part 2)
  Brian L. Hawkins
  "Tremendously exciting large-scale digitization projects are opening up cultural memory as embodied in our library special collections, our museums and archives, and the public-domain segment of our published literature to unprecedented levels of access and use."
• Top-Ten IT Issues, 2006
  Barbara I. Dewey, Peter B. DeBlois, and the 2006 EDUCAUSE Current Issues Committee
  EDUCAUSE presents the findings from its seventh annual Current Issues Survey. For the first time ever, security and identity management has topped information technology funding as the number-one IT-related issue in terms of its strategic importance to the institution.
