CAMPUS FACILITIES INVENTORY (CFI) <- collecting campus space data
http://www.scup.org/spaceman/cfi/

It's been more than a decade since anyone collected good nationwide data
about space on campus. With the impetus coming from JOHN BYRD and the
hard work of a task force headed by ART LIDSKY of Dober, Lidksy, Craig,
and Associates, of the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the
support of TOM BOWEN of the University of Georgia, the Society is now
engaged in the data collection phase (January 15-March 15) of a compre-
hensive survey of campus space. If that's something that interests you,
go to the hyperlink above and learn more. SCUP will present and publish
various summary reports on the data, but only those campuses which
provide data will be able to access complete data sets. A lot more
information can be found here: http://www.scup.org/spaceman/cfi/.

TRANSFORMING E-KNOWLEDGE (TeK): A REVOLUTION IN THE SHARING OF KNOWLEDGE
http://www.transformingeknowledge.info

SCUP's most recent book, by Donald M. Norris, Jon Mason, and Paul
Lefrere is being widely distributed. By the end of February, more than
10,000 copies will be out in readers' hands. Every current member of the
Society by the end of January will receive a complimentary copy of this
$40, 164-page volume when it is shipped with our 2003 Membership
Directory (for delivery in late-February.)

About TeK, Diana Laurillard of the Open University (UK) says: We cannot
predict the future, but we do sense that we have the power to shape it.
So we need to take time to reflect: on what those possible futures are,
which are the more desirable, and what it takes to realise them. The
authors of this book set out to help us with that process. On every page
you will find them striving to express the ways in which e-systems can
be exploited, the benefits they could yield, and what we all, indivi-
duals and organisations together, must now do.


CALL FOR NOMINATIONS . . .

SCUP/AIA-CAE EXCELLENCE IN PLANNING AWARDS PROGRAM <- Call for nominations
http://www.scup.org/aiawards.htm

The SCUP/AIA-CAE Excellence in Planning Awards Program is a joint effort

Institute of Architects' Committee on Architecture for Education. It is
a juried competition that recognizes state-of-the-art planning,
excellence in planning processes, and quality outcomes in higher
education environments. Entries must demonstrate not only the quality
of the physical outcomes, but also the comprehensiveness and inclusive-
ness of the planning process. Find out more here:

HIGHER EDUCATION ALERT: <- a *must*-read
THE INFORMATION RAILROAD IS COMING
http://www.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/erm0310.pdf
"I think there will be major changes - changes not only in the execution
of the mission of colleges and universities but in our perception of
the mission itself. *** [I] believe that information technology obviates
the need for the university to be a place." This is an excellent, vision-
ary piece from EDUCAUSE Review.

FROM "PLANNING FOR HIGHER EDUCATION" <- newly-available articles
The following articles from our September-November 2002 issue of

EVOLUTION OF A MANAGEMENT MODEL
Evolution of a Management Model
by Nick L. Lund
This model involves a distributed learning university in partnership
with a community college.

NATIONAL LEARNING INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE (NLII) CONFERENCE
http://www.educause.edu/nlii/meetings/nlii031/
We're attending this conference as these words are written, and finding
much here of interest to all SCUPers, especially those involved in the
academic planning realm. Much of what we're hearing and seeing here will
be available later, online, and we will be sure to point it out when it
is. Each attendee here received a copy of SCUP's new book, "Transforming
e-Knowledge": http://www.transformingeknowledge.info.

The following "Virtual Community of Practice" is under development
by the NLII. It could be of potential interest to many SCUP Email
News readers, not only for its topic - the future of higher education -
but for the opportunity to work in a state of the art, online,
collaborative working tool:

The New Academy Virtual Community of Practice
https://worktools.si.umich.edu/workspaces/dcamrid/003.nsf
"The purpose of The New Academy community is to begin to anticipate the
evolution of the Academy, in response to the four vectors of change:
teaching, learning, technology, and the economy. The overarching
question is: How can we begin to design and build the new academy, for
a creative and principle-driven response to these forces for change?"
