Keeping Track of Collaborations• Collaborative Facilities is a project designed
to collect, organize, and disseminate information about model "collaborative facilities" on college and university campuses. The project is sponsored by the Coalition for Networked Information and hosted by Dartmouth College in an effort to assist institutions in planning, implementing, and evaluating these facilities.
