A Small School Ventures into the World of the CWIS

Abstract

In late 1992, Kenyon College had just completed its campus network infrastructure. This new environment provided an institutional "integration" that enabled Kenyon to consider the possibility of a campuswide information system. Kenyon began its planning by investigating many other CWISes on the Internet. In the process, the most important issues to be addressed in launching a successful CWIS were identified. This article discusses those issues and provides a guide to other small schools in getting started. This article is adapted from a CAUSE94 conference presentation (CNC9420).
