Information retrieval (IR) is known facilitator of changes ongoing in human\nsociety and vice versa. This is due to the fact that IR is a key component of\nthe digital ecosystems, where both information providers and information\nconsumers collaboratively address their problems with the use of technologies.\nOrganization and design of such ecosystems drives particular social impact for\nall the players involved. In this paper, we study the impact made by a\nparticular IR ecosystem (semantic portal) used for management of academic\ninformation resources and processes within the Ukrainian higher education. We\nshow how this portal is changing a collective mindset of the academic community\nof its users. We argue that such impact becomes possible due to specific\norganization of the ecosystem, where all the information resources, IR services\nand related analytics (search, assessment, ranking, etc.) and IR users inhabit\nthe same semantic space under umbrella of the corresponding ontologies.\nPersonal values and preferences of the users configure on-the-fly the\ncorresponding IR analytics and enable personalized value-driven IR services,\nmaking everyone feel involved into the organizational decision-making\nprocesses. Four years of active use of this portal in university environment\nhas been reported and related impact is evaluated in this study.\n
