> collaboration & learning environment software project. Participants in  
> the Sakai SIG meeting will learn the current direction of the Sakai  
> community source development project, it's motivation, goals and  
> vendor support. This discussion will explore possible engagements and  
> communication NERCOMP might facilitate in this emerging open source

> Partners who are members of NERCOMP.

> 2. "INTEGRATED LIBRARY SYSTEMS: MIGRATION STRATEGIES AND PROCESS"
>
> The library's Integrated Library System software is core to several  
> aspects of library service so when it comes time to consider the  
> evolving ILS marketplace, possibly migrate to a new ILS vendor, it can  
> become a seemingly overwhelming task. Join us for an all-day workshop  
> where we discuss the strategies used for needs analysis, vendor  
> selection, migration, implementation, and training and share key  
> communication methodologies.
>
> TIME: 9:15- 3:00 (Coffee and Registration start at 8:15)

> 3. "Higher Ed 101 - Filling a Void in IT Professional Development "
>
> After a series of awkward incidents precipitated by IT staff  
> misunderstanding of the organizational structure of higher education,  
> Information Services at Northeastern University decided to fill a void  
> in our professional development offerings by launching Higher Ed 101.  
> This course explains the constraints upon information technology in an  
> academic environment; delves into the role of the president, provost  
> and board of trustees; and ends with a graphic description of the  
> demands the 'new' student is making on both the IT function and the  
> very construct of higher education. Come to this workshop to learn  
> that a quad can be a green grassy area surrounded by buildings, how  
> tenure can affect the process of information technology and, oh yes,  
> to see if you can get a passing grade. The afternoon session will  
> include a spirited discussion with administrators and others about how  
> IT/Academe cultural clashes can create havoc for everyone.
