Outcomes of the TE
Lead in Collections
This strategic area contains objectives that acknowledge the critical
importance of collections and place effective collections management
at the center of services and programming. The strategy is to improve
the collection of and access to electronic resources available to the
library’s users through the online catalog and to create digitized
collections and programs to support the curricular and research needs
of the university.
Technology Plan – Four themes
Outcomes of the TE
Collaborate in Teaching and Learning
In today’s information age, it is imperative to produce graduates who
are competent and literate users of information. This strategic area
recognizes the library’s increased role as a teaching and learning
commons for the university, where students, faculty and staff can
effectively and efficiently learn how to use information in its various
formats. This strategy includes providing smart teaching
classrooms/study areas, student/faculty/staff development facility,
and fully equipped research and computer labs.
Technology Plan – Four themes
Outcomes of the TE
Excel in service
Service is the watchword of the library. Within this area of focus are
objectives articulating and reaffirming this commitment to service
and identifying ways in which services can be strengthened and
enhanced to better address user needs. The strategy is to improve and
expand user access to collections by increasing holdings represented
in the library’s catalog, providing links to much-demanded electronic
resources, improving customer service through more effective space
utilization and renovation of selected library environments, and
planning for a new teaching and learning center as part of the Digital
Teaching Library.
Technology Plan – Four themes
Outcomes of the TE
Foster Organizational Change
This provides a context to support and sustain the overall mission and
strategic plan of the library that strengthens our ability to act in an
effective manner to address the changing roles of our campus and our
curriculum. The strategy is to improve service to library users by
improving internal communication systems and incorporating new
technologies.

(Working Draft)
Introduction
The California State University, through the Technology Infrastructure Initiative (TII)
component of its Integrated Technology Strategy (ITS), is pursuing the build-out of the
intra-campus telecommunications infrastructures at each of the 23 CSU campuses. This
system wide project is the culmination of years of intensive effort by staff members across
the University, efforts which have included the creation of a Telecommunications Master
Plan (TIMP) for each campus and the development of the system's comprehensive
technology standards, such as the Telecommunications Infrastructure Planning (TIP)
Guidelines and the Minimum Baseline service provisioning standards.

CSU - Measures of Success
Campuses vary greatly in their ability to provide students, faculty and staff comparable access to information
technology resources. The inadequacies and disparities that motivated campus presidents to work together to
improve the technology infrastructure for all CSU campuses persist, but the technology gap is now becoming
narrower rather than wider.
The campus, system and individual data collection activities associated with this report have been
institutionalized throughout the system. A structure and process have been established, and the quality of the
data should improve over time as refinements are made to them.
In both breadth and depth, information technology has permeated every important facet of the modern
university, academic or administrative. The issues and the data reviewed in this report indicate clearly that a
technology infrastructure is a prerequisite for quality and productivity in the digital age.
The CSU Information Technology Strategy is a comprehensive blueprint for infusing technology into the
curriculum as well as administrative systems. The ITS provides an effective planning framework and strategy
for exploiting the efficiencies offered by technology while improving quality and meeting the enrollment
demands of the next two decades.
For the first time, the system is moving toward standardization and consensus on a wide range of important
conceptual and technical issues. The Measures of Success process requires that operational definitions be
agreed upon to support both data collection and development of a common language for describing success.
The Measures of Success accountability model presented here goes far beyond the metrics themselves. It is an
implicit recognition that information technology is the crucial infrastructure of the 21st Century, similar to the role
that a physical infrastructure played in previous eras
