[CODE4LIB] Cloud Computing in Higher Education
Hello All, I'm doing a presentation at NERCOMP in March called Cloud Computing in Higher Education: Changing the Way We Provide Systems. To prepare, I've created a survey called Cloud Computing in Academia. If you work in academia and you utilize the cloud or are interested in utilizing the cloud, please feel free to take the survey using the link below: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/cloud-academia The survey is a total of 4 questions and should only take you a couple of minutes to complete. Your input would be greatly appreciated. I'll publish a link to the results once I close the survey on Friday February 5th. Rosalyn
Re: [CODE4LIB] Cloud Computing in Higher Education
Hi Rosalyn, I notice that the survey is constructed from the standpoint of web developers or IT professionals (which makes sense since this is code4lib), but cloud computing is/can be used for more than just that. Some institutions have taken advantage of cloud computing for 3D rendering and visualization, but the survey doesn't really adequately address that aspect, especially since we're talking about the academic community as a whole.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Cloud Computing in Higher Education
Thanks Ethan for the feedback. I actually thought of that as I was developing the survey (especially considering what Michael Klein and I are presenting at Code4Lib). But the presentation itself is really geared toward IT professionals, the theme of this year's NERCOMP is: The Next-Generation University: Rethinking IT in Disruptive Times. And somehow I ended up in the enterprise systems and services track (which i definitely wasn't expecting). Perhaps our presentation at Code4Lib will make you see that I'm not single cloud minded (Michael, feel free to flog me off list).
