Winners in the first award series of our new faculty mentoring program have been determined. Because of the press deadlines for producing this month's issue of AU Research News, we are unable to provide in-depth features on the award recipients. However, I want to take this platform to recognize these winers and add my congratulations. More in-depth features on their research will be carried in future issies of AU Research News.
Proposal calls for faculty mentoring awards projects are issued annually.
Back to top AU evaluating electronic document management Auburn University's Contracts and Grants Administration office served as a pilot test unit in December for an electronic document storage and management system which if implemented, will make AU the first state institution to adopt such a system. Electronic document management can eliminate the need for massive filing cabinets while at the same time, providing an easily retrievable and safe method for storing active, as well as, archival files on the university's existing Groupwise servers, Spain said. University Computing and Copy Cat would be involved in the scanning and storage process. The university's Copy Cat facility has offered to provide high-speed scanning using mobile scanners at the locations of the files. The cost sould be comparable to the cost of making photo copies.
