"Anyone with a serious interest in the future of education will
find this book provocative, prescient, prescriptive, and pivotal.
It is a must-read for those responsible for preparing educational
institutions at all levels for their new role in our networked
society." (Vinton G. Cerf, senior vice president, MCI WORLDCOM, and
chairman, Internet Society)
"Transformative. That's what networks are; that's the role our institutions must fill for society; and that's what our leadership must be. This book provides valuable insight into networks and the challenges we must address to ensure that higher education thrives in the Knowledge Age." (Molly Corbett Broad, president, University of North Carolina)
"The networks of today and tomorrow are not merely collections of wired computers; they are engines of transformation that will affect virtually every aspect of life in the academy. This book will prove essential to presidents and other campus leaders who must plan for, and invest in, the networking infrastructures that will powerfully impact the futures of our institutions." (John Hitt, president, University of Central Florida)
"Libraries, classrooms, and pedagogy are already on the short list of targets transformed by networking technologies. All of educational practice will eventually contribute to the creative and fast-paced links that we know through the Internet. The thoughtful essays in this volume can, indeed, help us prepare for that future." (Jane Margaret "Maggie" O'Brien, president, St. Mary's College of Maryland)
