Electronic Portfolios: Emerging Practices in Student, Faculty, and Institutional Learning. (Table of Contents) This book available from American Association from Higher Education (AAHE) includes findings from this project and advice to institutions beginning electronic institutional portfolios.

Portrait of Universities with Metropolitan Alliances (PUMA) - This web site was created to support the ongoing development of a data exchange among a set of urban and metropolitan universities that seeks to expand the availability of information that articulates the contribution of these institutions to their metropolitan regions, their states, and to the nation. In addition, it uses UUPP's preliminary document on the common characteristics of urban public universities as a starting point for an effort to develop indicators of effectiveness for these universities.
