Podcast: The Institutional Challenges of Cyberinfrastructure and E-Research

gbayne — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 11:42:50 -0500

In this one hour and twenty minute podcast, we feature the closing speech from the 2007 Seminars On Academic Computing in Snowmass Village, Colorado. The speaker is Clifford A. Lynch, Executive Director of the Coalition for Networked Information. His speech is entitled, The Institutional Challenges of Cyberinfrastructure and E-Research.

It has become clear that scholarly practice and scholarly communication across a wide range of disciplines are being transfigured by a series of developments in IT and networked information. While this has been widely discussed at the national and international levels in the context of large-scale advanced scientific projects, the challenges at the level of individual universities and colleges may prove more complex and more difficult. This presentation will focus on these challenges, as well as the development of truly institution-wide strategies that can support and advance the promises of e-research.

Podcast: Privacy and Security in Higher Education: Filling the Policy Vacuum

gbayne — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 11:57:22 -0500

In this hour and ten minute long podcast from the 2007 Seminars on Academic Computing, we hear from Fred H. Cate, Distinguished Professor at the School of Law and Director of the Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research at Indiana University, with a speech entitled, Privacy and Security in Higher Education: Filling the Policy Vacuum .

Colleges and universities possess an exceptional volume and variety of personal information. Our stewardship of such information has been inconsistent and inadequate, and we often implement new technologies and systems without considering systemic privacy and security implications. Although many publicly reported security breaches occur on campuses, we have been slow to provide training in privacy and security issues, rarely audit for compliance, and lag far behind industry and government in appointing privacy and security officers. This session will address the information policy challenges facing colleges and universities, today and in the future, and will offer practical steps for overcoming them.
