In March 2002, University of Texas President Larry Faulkner announced that “the University is setting the goal of providing a digital Knowledge Gateway to all Texans. We will provide access for every citizen, via a personalized Internet window, into the resources of our libraries, collections, museums, and much more. Our target is to establish an online service that exceeds anything else of its kind, permitting Texans everywhere to access, use, and benefit from the core materials at the heart of our University. The great treasures of this institution belong to all citizens of the state.”
This session provides a progress report on this ambitious, multi-year effort.
