How to make sense of this?

• The messiness of emerging knowledge infrastructure

• Private institutional vs. public perspective

• Proprietary vs. open data

• Commercial vs. open source vs. hybrid technology

• Isolated systems vs. interconnected networks

Pilot Phase - Key Questions• Library nudge a university-wide bottom-up coordinated process?

• Cornell highly decentralized in research info mgmt • Role of library? Role of academic units? • No central mandate or common RIM system

• Data Quality • Automated curation - How much can we do? • Human curation - how much? who?

• Many user stories - sweet spot for Scholars@Cornell? • Deans, department chairs, university administration • University communications and outreach • Faculty and researchers • Prospective students and faculty

• Ongoing investment to sustain?
