MacKenzie's objections to Kroll's Report:

1. How valid is this research at your individual institution (each university is a snowflake...)
2. There is tension but still trying to move ahead even though administration is telling you that you can't
3. Senior Faculty behave differently than rank and file researchers
4. Mission and marketing - how do we market what we are already doing

Other notes:

Coeus - MIT http://coeus.org/

Faculty want help with: structuring their notes and datasets, negotiating publication licenses, funding requirements, authority work, customizable personal webpages, and keeping up to date with their iterations.

Review Ithaka's faculty survey

www.rin.ac.uk - patterns of info use and exchange case studies

"pre-print is a more authentic representation of their work" - Kroll's study found that this is the feeling of faculty
