COMMITTEE ON INSTITUTIONAL COOPERATION 2014-2015 ANNUAL REPORT: The Power of the Collective

Launched in 1958 by the university presidents as the academic counterpart to the Big Ten Athletic Conference, the CIC connects faculty and staff across the fifteen campuses to increase opportunities, save money, and solve problems. Throughout the years, CIC leaders have developed a nationally recognized portfolio of effective programs and initiatives that leverage resources and expertise and amplify our collective impact in the wider world. With a focus on recruiting, retaining, and engaging faculty, the CIC’s academic leadership programs are considered to be among the best professional development opportunities in higher education. By enhancing the leadership capabilities of faculty and administrators, the Academic Leadership Program and Department Executive Officers Seminars deepen the talent pool, increase advancement opportunities, and maximize the human capital that make our universities among the best in the world

Wright's bibliography American Fiction, 1851-1875

The Wright American Fiction online collection attempts to include every novel published in the United States from 1851 to 1875. It includes works by well known writers such as Louisa May Alcott, Mark Twain, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, and Harriet Beecher Stowe, along with a great many forgotten authors, whose works may have been very popular in their own time. The online collection actually consists of two rather different groups of texts. The larger is a group of electronic texts created by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. These texts are available for searching and browsing, using the digital page images. The text files have not been proofread or corrected, and still contain errors. We are working through this group, correcting errors and adding SGML encoding. This group of fully edited texts allows you to view both the electronic text as well as the page images. In addition to being corrected, these files allow for better navigation by identifying chapter or story divisions within each work and having a hypertext linked "Table of Contents". We plan to eventually work through the entire collection, but until we're done, each of these two groups will remain somewhat different collections that can be searched together.Libros Digitale
