Bamboo is a multi-institutional, interdisciplinary, and inter-organizational effort that brings together researchers in arts and humanities, computer scientists, information scientists, librarians, and campus information technologists to tackle the question:

How can we advance arts and humanities research through the development of shared technology services?

Nine months and three workshops into the planning process, Bamboo has involved over 440 individuals from more than 110 institutions in the discussion. Currently, participating institutions have come together to define the scope and direction of the project implementation phase through the development of a Program Document.

Bamboo participants have organized working groups to identify areas and define approaches that should be considered for inclusion in the Bamboo implementation proposal.
