Editor's Note

In this issue of StudentAffairs On-Line, Stuart Brown gives you tips on what you need to know regarding the redesign of your campus web sites, but I would like to direct your attention to a different kind of systems issue - developing large student information systems. In the New Directions for Higher Education series, a fairly recent monograph (no. 136, Winter 2006) details what you need to know about purchasing, designing and implementing such systems. In the monograph (entitled Building a Student Information System: Strategies for Success and Implications for Campus Policy Makers), Don Hossler (ed.) and his collaborators offer many helpful suggestions for anyone who is involved in purchasing or developing large student information systems for their campuses. For my review of this monograph, look for the upcoming winter issue of The Review of Higher Education.
