Marriage, Brooklyn-Style: How the Library, the Faculty, and Administrative Computing Deliver Brooklyn College's Academic Computing Program

Abstract

This paper describes Brooklyn College's reorganization in 1994 that merged academic computing and the library under a single manager (the library director), in a single location (the library). In this highly collaborative model, most professional staff work in both programs; a faculty advisory committee gives direction and guidance; faculty fellows receive released time to work in the academic computing program; and administrative computing staff provide significant technical support. A new library building housing the library, academic computing, and administrative computing will function as the college's information and technological hub.
