| Interdisciplinary research is a high priority for Cornell, but the university operates within compartmentalized administrative structures. How can researchers and administrators identify potential collaborators, competitive faculty and student candidates and potential donors outside of their traditional peer groups? When the Cornell University Library became involved in the Genomics and New Life Sciences initiatives at Cornell University, our goal became to develop a tool to present the depth and breadth of research and scholarship at Cornell across the life sciences, independently of Cornell's administrative structure. The result is VIVO, an interactive web site that captures information about the people, programs, classes, publications, and facilities involved in life sciences research at Cornell University. This model has been so successful for this cross-section of the community that the project is now expanding to cover initiatives related to the physical sciences and engineering, social sciences and international research.
