How should libraries facilitate the use of their content and services in the development of digital learning materials? At this year's Educause Conference in Anaheim, IU will address that question in a presentation with the California Digital Library (CDL).
IU and CDL have recently entered into a collaborative partnership in which they work together to analyze and prototype promising options for integrating library and educational technology services.
The IU/CDL Educause session is entitled: Emerging Best Practices for Integrating Library Content and Services with Educational Technology.
For more information about the IU/CDL partnership visit a new page on the IU site, which will archive and chronicle the collaborative work of IU and CDL.

| IU Receives Important New Grant |
 The Interactive University Project has been awarded a $650,000 grant from the Department of Commerce Technology Opportunities Program (TOP) to develop and administer the City Watershed Project. City Watershed is comprised of more than a dozen partner organizations in San Francisco and the East Bay. Led by the IU, with UC Berkeley’s College of Natural Resources as the key campus partner, Bay Area partners include community-based environmental organizations, local government, regional and federal resource agencies, and K-12 school districts.
“It’s an honor to win this award,” said IU Director David Greenbaum, who added, “We also think it will be a great project for the campus and the local community. It allows IU and UC to pursue the goal of using technology to share campus resources and make an impact in K-12 schools and communities. I believe one of the reasons TOP looked favorably on our application is the strength of our partners. These groups have already done great work, work that will evolve and expand when plugged in to the technology tools IU is developing for gathering, accessing and sharing data and information.”

The Interactive University Project uses the Internet to open UC Berkeley's unique resources and people to California’s K-12 schools and citizens. Our goal is to use technology to democratize the content and community of the campus.
IU activities are coordinated by UC Berkeley's Information Systems and Technology.
