Cornette Library
Our intention is to be at the forefront of all of the regional universities in our nation and state in the development of model campus libraries, transformative technology, enterprise agility and ubiquitous access to information digitally. In order to meet the research expectations of a doctoral granting institution, WT must develop new techniques for faculty to electronically store research data and collaborate with fellow researchers. A faculty commons website will encourage participation, foster interdisciplinary perspectives and provide resources for teaching and research. The faculty commons will also encourage collaboration within and between disciplines and increase digital offerings available through the Texas Digital Library subscription.
Along with developing new research storage and collaboration methods to benefit WT researchers, expanding access to research journals, particularly in the sciences, is necessary. To maintain its competitive advantage, the University will establish a campus council of innovation that is inclusive of all academic and non-academic departments across the campus. WT, already a global leader in online education, will focus on the development of a public, private cloud architecture that provides flexible, cost-effective and scalable services that maintains a shared vision consistent with the University’s vision, mission and strategic goals.
