"Before, there was no systematic way at all of knowing what people were doing, it was very ad hoc. Now, it's quick and easy. Let's say you wanted to know who is working on homeless issues at the university. You can do a quick search and find out who is doing that – it's a way to learn right away about people who might be in your network at the university and teach in different departments."
Professor of Geography and Director of the School of Public Service
