Information Portfolio

The primary informational objective of ANU is to develop the information infrastructure necessary to support world-class research, education and administration.  This support is delivered by the Division of Information through an enabling information infrastructure and a broad range of targeted information services.

Portfolio leadership is focussed through four strategic areas:

  • Scholarly Information (University Libraries, collection management, access, literacy)
  • Corporate Information (enterprise systems, web based business solutions and related services)
  • Scholarly Technology (course management, learning environments, digital repositories)  
  • Information Infrastructure (networks, storage, servers, desktop environments, and related services).

Services provided though the Information Portfolio include:

  • computational facilities, networks and data repositories that support research at the highest international standards
  • building national infrastructure in e-science, digital libraries and access services
  • developing information services that support innovation in teaching methods, learning materials, and flexible education processes
  • creation of course management systems and learning environments based on access to high quality learning materials and experimental facilities
  • consolidation of on-campus information commons and library facilities and associated support services ranked highly among selected comparators
  • a digital assets program to manage, preserve and access valued university materials
  • the Information Literacy Program
  • management of enterprise systems including planning and implementation processes, and their alignment with University priorities 
  • the information publication framework covering both digital and print media 
  • leading edge networked communication services with global connectivity from all points on the University’s distributed campus.
