Gartner, Inc., the leading provider of research and analysis in the global information technology industry, has signed an agreement with Emory University to provide broad intranet access to Gartner’s core research content for its 40,000 plus students, faculty, and staff on the main campus.
According to Marc Overcash, interim enterprise CIO & senior vice provost for library services and digital scholarship, “We’re enthusiastic about providing this new resource to the Emory Community. There is a broad and deep wealth of information about IT practices, trends, and strategies for our students, faculty decision makers, and IT professionals to explore and utilize.”
Some examples of the inherent value that access to Gartner research brings to the academic community are:
