This is your chance to help. New York now has an innovation wiki. NYSHEI has long argued that innovation is reliant on access to the “information infrastructure” that is the academic and research libraries. I encourage you to use this wiki to make sure our partners in industry and across higher education are aware of the critical information resources available at your library.
Governor Paterson’s Task Force on Industry-Higher Education Partnerships was commissioned to explore how the State can better integrate its university-based research and development resources into the economy. That Task Force constantly heard of the need for a centralized information source that provides information about “what’s out there in terms of assets.” To that end, we are launching the New York State Innovation Asset Inventory, an open-forum, wiki-based website which includes brief profiles and contact information of many of the state’s most important investment, research and development and business startup assets. The website is www.KnowledgeNY.org/wiki.
ADDING/EDITING ENTRIES
In order to create a new entry, follow the directions on the home page.
In order to edit your individual asset’s page click on the link that will take you to your asset’s page off of the main page. On the top of the page, just above your asset’s name, is a tab reading “Edit”. Clicking on this tab will bring you to a screen from which you can edit your asset’s information as it appears on our site. You may, but need not, create an account (in the event you do not, your computer’s IP address will be logged along with your edits). Formatting tools are available for you to use at the top of this editing screen.
