There was also a great deal of discussion regarding the role of the Library, IS&amp;T and the Office of Research in managing this data. More importantly, as we move more and more into the era of big data and data analytics, the opportunities for interdisciplinary research are dramatically increased. While this change will allow us to tackle issues we never have before, it&#8217;s clear that it introduces a set of challenges to how we work and collaborate. The session was recorded, and is available for review here <a

town hall was an appropriate follow on to a 2013 Symposium on Big Data and Analytics at Chapman, facilitated by Professor El-Askary. \u00a0This event, the Interface Symposium, was joint effort of Chapman University and the Interface Foundation of North America, and resulted from the Obama Administration\u2019s Big Data Research and Development Initiative.\u00a0For more information on the 2013 event, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/events\/past-events\/interface-2013\/index.aspx\">https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/events\/past-events\/interface-2013\/index.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We hope to do follow up events to build on the work done both at the town hall and the Interface Symposium.\u00a0 Stay tuned for more
