PART I – Computing Plan 2008-2009 Faculty/Unit: Osgoode Hall Law School Completed by: Kurt Binnie, Director of Information Technology Services Date: February 25, 2008 A. Introduction Osgoode’s mission is to contribute to new knowledge about the law and the legal system by being a centre for thoughtful and creative legal scholarship, to provide an outstanding professional and liberal education to its students so that they can assume positions of leadership in the legal profession, among legal academics and in all aspects of public life, and to serve Canadian society and the world in ways that further social justice. The Law School strives to optimize the use of technology to position Osgoode as the premier legal institution in the knowledge-based economy and to represent and connect its staff, students, faculty and the external communities in Canada and globally in an innovative, efficient, positive and learning-driven manner. This document is the Osgoode Information Technology Services (ITS) annual Computing Plan for 2008/2009. It identifies priority activities of high strategic value to the Law School and the IT-based activities that will be undertaken to support them. For 2008-2009 particular emphasis is being placed on addressing several of the priorities identified in the Plan for the Law School 2006-2010. IT support will continue to be focused on four key objectives outlined in the Plan for the Law School: a commitment to lifelong learning; extending Osgoode’s global reach; increased IT support of research projects; the expansion of graduate studies. In addition to the objectives stated above 2008-2009 is a year of major facilities initiatives at both Osgoode’s main and downtown locations. The renovation of the Osgoode Professional Development centre (OPD) and the commencement of construction of the building addition on the Keeled campus require IT support in several areas including planning, electronic classroom design and the efficient use of space during the building and renovation periods. Planning Methodology The plan was developed with input from key stakeholders at the Law School. The primary source of new initiatives is through high-level IT consultations with department and committee heads through a series of formal and informal meetings. FINAL 02/25/2008 2
