Upcoming

BisonNet Month in the Digital Scholarship Studio

Have you heard of BisonNet?  Join us in the Digital Scholarship Studio, 124 Bertrand Library this March to learn more about how you can use the new computer resources available through BisonNet. We will be hosting an open house on March 4, 18, or 25, 2020 from noon to 1 p.m. in the Digital Scholarship Studio, Bertrand Library. 

BisonNet has enhanced the Bucknell IT infrastructure in the following ways:

  • Research Network: to create a high-speed, independent network for research that will improve Bucknell’s ability to exchange GIS, bioinformatics, and clinical data with partners inside and outside of Bucknell.
  • High Performance Computing Cluster: improved performance for research computing resources and to prepare students for postgraduate work and study in data-intensive fields.
  • Archival / Object Storage: will centralize and consolidate storage and back-up to assist faculty and students with short- and long-term research data management.
  • Remote Lab: improvements to lab infrastructure at key locations on campus for the exchange of geographic, multidisciplinary, and large datasets.
