- Roy, Thanks much for your comments about the CWIS at McGill.
- I just came away from another network interest group meeting this
- afternoon where we went another round toward installing, creating, etc. a
- College network. This, I hope, will include a CWIS. I definitely want to
- have it offer direct access to the library resources. (We're an LRS
- here!) The very issue you addresses about who manages and controls the
- information etc. was at the heart of our discussion this afternoon. I
- think that we need to begin to look at urging our admin. to make some
- changes at the top to accomodate a VP for information and technology or
- the like. I just don't see a committee that passes major decisions
- affecting every devpt. and level in an institutioon (here we have 6
- campuses which more and more function as separate institutions!) with a
- handshake and good will. This type of product is too powerful to not have
- some eventual fisticuffs. Your points and ideas are well taken, and I
- thank you!
