In the fall of 2010 we announced that SUNY Research Foundation has purchased Community of Science (COS) for use on all SUNY campuses in support of the chancellor’s initiatives on collaboration.
Over the past few months, COS has begun to construct a central repository of faculty research profiles for all SUNY scholars from publicly available information. These profiles will serve as the initial database entry for each individual and will be fully editable. This database of profiles is known as “Scholar Universe.” COS will also implement a “Find a SUNY Scholar” feature on all campus websites, which will enable sharing of expertise not only across SUNY, but throughout the world.
A free workshop is planned for Thursday, February 24 (two sessions, pick one): 9:30 to 11:00 am or 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. Faculty, research administrators, sponsored program staff, library science staff, and anyone interested in COS are encouraged to attend.
Registration is required, see RF.buffalostate.edu for registration details and more information.
