MacKenzie's objections to Kroll's Report:
- How valid is this research at your individual institution (each university is a snowflake...)
- There is tension but still trying to move ahead even though administration is telling you that you can't
- Senior Faculty behave differently than rank and file researchers
- Mission and marketing - how do we market what we are already doing
Other notes:
Coeus - MIT http://coeus.org/
Faculty want help with: structuring their notes and datasets, negotiating publication licenses, funding requirements, authority work, customizable personal webpages, and keeping up to date with their iterations.
Review Ithaka's faculty survey
www.rin.ac.uk - patterns of info use and exchange case studies
"pre-print is a more authentic representation of their work" - Kroll's study found that this is the feeling of faculty
