✦ Synopsis

As the Planning Team continued to meet during the first year of implementation, it became evident that there was growing competition and conflict of interests between the IIC and the emerging SOM and IPA information centers. In order to resolve these issues of boundaries, a revised organizational model was adopted which became known as the ''Mickey Mouse'' model-Mickey's head was the IIC and his ears were the SOM and IPA information centers. The ears represented the gateways for the flow of information to and from the primary client groups-the faculty and staff of the two units. This revised model incorporated all of the functions and services of the IIC, as outlined in the proposal, but represented a new organizational alignment between the IIC and the SOM and IPA information centers.
