The forum was inspired by the Council of Graduate Schools 2007 report, Graduate Education: The Backbone of American Competitiveness and Innovation,3 which examines the current state of graduate education and how it influences the positioning of the United States in the global economy.

Formulating the answer required close partnerships between the library, the Office of Information Technology, and faculty from across the campus.
