The President's Information Revolution Commission (PIRC) sub-subseries, 2000-2001 (1.5 linear feet), includes files on a commission formed under the direction of President Bollinger to investigate how the University of Michigan community was thinking about, discussing, and using information technology. Another exciting feature of the late 20th and early 21st centuries was the rapid development of new information technology, and Bollinger was interested in keeping the University engaged in the new developments. The PIRC was charged with thinking about how the University could take advantage of the progress in information technology, and become a leader in using information technology in the classroom, both onsite, and for distance learning purposes. The files in this sub-subseries contain background materials, minutes, correspondence, reports, and files from the various sub-commissions within the PIRC.
