WEBINAR | It’s not about the technology: Librarians and CIOs talk to each other about access to digital resources and services
4 de setembro de 2020
Por Library Connect
Panelists include librarians and CIOs from major research institutions and library consortia
Providing secure access on campus to a variety of resources was already complex before the pandemic and the pivot to fully online teaching and research. Librarians and library staff, Chief Information Officers and Chief Information Security Officers all have different aims, priorities and obligations for the technologies and technology integrations that support their communities. In this recorded mini-symposium, librarians, CIOs, consortial leaders and cybersecurity experts discuss the issues foremost on their minds from current concerns to future challenges. They explore the commonalities and differences in their user policies, workflows and user experiences. This shared understanding of higher level concerns can help build bridges and foster practical discussions about applying appropriate technologies.
