Higher education is changing. Driven by the need to increase productivity, quality, and access while meeting the challenges of competition, universities, especially state-assisted institutions, are seeking ways to do more with less governmental support. Information technology (IT) is perhaps the enabling tool that will bring transformative change (Oblinger & Rush, 1997). The organizations that have had primary managerial responsibility for IT implementation on many campuses need to change and be restructured if the technology is to live up to its potential. This case study provides an overview of the process utilized in implementing a broad-based strategy to address the information technology needs of a large public university, the University of Memphis. It deals at length with the planning and creation of an IT governance structure and a strategic planning and management model. In this case, modern theories of organizational change and strategic planning were applied to the creation and improvement of the University’s IT structure.

Many librarians find it difficult to compile information about perpetual access to their e-journals because it may be scattered across numerous license agreements. Rather than creating and maintaining a database for perpetual access information that is separate from the order records and holdings information found in integrated library systems (ILS), the University of Memphis is using Innovative Interfaces’ Sierra ILS. By leveraging fixed and variable-length fields to record perpetual access information, we can perform queries and generate reports that are helpful in making collection development and preservation decisions.
