Campuswide Information Technology Strategic Plan

The Campus Technology Council (CTC) is refreshing the campuswide Information Technology (IT) Strategic Plan. By identifying current and emerging trends and related IT needs for the critical areas of research, teaching and learning, student experience, and administration, the updated Plan will provide context for anyone developing IT funding requests for FY 2008–09. It also will provide context for members of the CTC when they evaluate and prioritize the IT funding requests and when they identify the IT priorities for the campus.

A draft of the revised Plan is available for download as a PDF document: Updating UC Berkeley's Campuswide IT Strategic Plan (2007–08).
