Outsourcing IT Services: Strategic or Not? In this session, CIO's from Colgate University and Skidmore College will describe aspects of their IT services that have been outsourced to third parties and how that has been strategically important to them. The goal of this highly interactive session will be to engage the entire audience in a lively discussion about when IT services are strategic and when they are not and how outsourcing fits into the decision making of any CIO.

Learning From Ourselves,Sharing With Each Other: Academic Commons; LoLa Exchange as Collaborative Infrastructure Academic Commons (http://www.academiccommons.org) and LoLa Exchange (http://www.lolaexchange.org) are two initiatives to create trans-institutional spaces for sharing and collaboration around instructional technology. Both are aimed at documenting innovation, and at facilitating the sharing of resources and insights across campus boundaries, each with a distinct focus on liberal arts education. In this session, we will highlight contributions to these resources from CLAC schools, demonstrate how to contribute to these initiatives, and discuss how this (and other similar initiatives) can help strengthen our community, and leverage our collective investments in technology.

Disaster Planning - Facing the "Smoke and Rubble" When it comes to addressing systems continuity in the event of an emergency or disaster, it's tempting to cite a tight budget and move on. While we may indeed not have the resources locally, we can address these needs by looking to one another. Please join us to discuss strategies for establishing a network of reciprocal arrangements that will help us all to be better prepared in our emergency response planning. We will also present the findings of a recent survey of what several institutions currently have in place and where they would like to be. [To Top] Presentations:[Osterman] [Spencer] |

TURN ON, TUNE IN, PRINT OUT: A Professor - Technologist - Librarian - Student Experiment in Multimedia Collaboration
The Sophomore Seminar, "1968: Pop Culture in the Age of Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll," focused on the impact of the political and social movements of the late 1960s on popular culture. The seminar included a weekly workshop dedicated to the production of final projects inspired by Aspen, a "multimedia magazine in a box" issued in the late sixties. [http://www.ubu.com/aspen/] The student projects were exhibited during a class-sponsored "Happening" on campus. [To Top]Presentation: [Sciacca-Mayo-Siniscarco] |

| Joel P. Cooper Director of Information Technology Services Carleton College Mark I. Berman Director, Networks and Systems Williams College |
Identity and Access Management: Role Changing in the Virtual World People most often enter our communities as students, slightly less often but just as frequently as faculty or staff. Then they become alumni, emeritus, retired, employees (after being students), students (after being employees), parents of students, or just move from one department to another. All these changes require provisioning of the access and rights to our networks, telecom, and computing systems. Find out how IAM is being automated and standardized, and what the futures are with this important technology. [To Top] Presentation: [Berman-Cooper] |
| Jason LaMar Director of Information Services Ohio Wesleyan University |
Chasing the 24/7 Challenge ...On a Budget During the last year, OWU has implemented some relatively cost-effective systems to maximize uptime of our campus data services – including infrastructure availability and environmental monitoring. These"field-tested and proven" measures will be presented during this session, with an opportunity to review and discuss alternative systems used at other campuses. [To Top] |

| David Waldron Chief Information Technology Officer College of Wooster Mitchel Davis CIO Bowdoin College |
Who Stole My Life! The Challenge of Being an Executive CIO in Times of Change Bowdoin and Wooster presidents and the executive staff decided to create a new key executive leadership role of Chief Information/ Technology Officer because of the strong and vital role technology plays in both our college's academic program. David and I were recently charged with the collaborative analysis and redesign of our Colleges' technology strategy and resource allocation in support of learning and teaching, research, and institutional management. We will be discussing our changing roles and responsibilities as executive CI/TOs, what we have done to strategically integrate IT into the college mission and highlight our challenging struggles, successes and maybe, if we feel good, some failures.

| Mark J. Dumic Associate Director Networking, Systems and Telecommunications Swarthmore College |
A Change of Voice: Considerations in Implementing IP Telephony at Swarthmore An aging PBX forced Swarthmore directly into the no-man's land of changing student telephone needs and communications habits. Just what DO students want? And could we afford to give it to them? The answers were surprising. All of the evolving technology options were considered but technology didn't drive our decision process. This talk focuses on the soft issues of communication and community, cost, maximizing the impact of internal staff and external partners, and maintaining future options.

| Lisa Palchick Dean of Libraries and Information Services Kalamazoo College Jim Cubit Director, Library and Information Technology Lake Forest College |
Facing Change Together: Collaboration at the Core Lake Forest and Kalamazoo Colleges have undertaken a collaboration initiative to provide groupware, portal, and help desk services on shared hardware located in a remote data center.

Unstoppable Forces and Immovable Objects During the past twenty five years, a new “force” has made its way into the budgets of our colleges – information technology and related services. This presentation will summarize a recent and important change process at Colorado College as we have substantially increased the budget allocation for core IT infrastructure. Details of our planning for a major network upgrade will be included. [To Top] |
| David Kelly Web & SIRSI Administrator Academic Technology Services Library & Information Services Dickinson College |
Organizational Website Design as a Mirror of Organizational Change When Dickinson College merged its Library and IT departments we set out to create a unified website that reflected out new identity and our services. Navigating the political and technical aspects of creating a unified design often was more difficult than expected. We will discuss our process of dealing with social aspects of creating a unified web presence, what we learned about designing a website that affects many users, and what we learned about ourselves as a new organization.
