The latest Educause Live event, planned for Thursday August 2, is a talk by UC Davis CIO Peter Siegel on Cyberinfrastructure: A Campus Perspective on What It Is and Why You Should Care.

CI, as it is known, is gathering quite a head of steam since the NSF published its first report in 2003. Since then 27 related reports have been released by others on CI and its impacts on different disciplines, including NSF's own succinct and polished Cyberinfrastructure Vision for 21st Century Discovery.

And stay tuned: Academic Commons will be presenting a special issue on Cyberinfrastructure and the Liberal Arts this fall.
