Spanish term or phrase: dotación personal
Not sure how "personal" fits in here. Should it perhaps be "dotación de personal"?

se trata de conocer los esfuerzos realizados por las universidades para incorporar las TIC en: (1) el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje: incorporación y uso de las TIC a la docencia en las aulas –proyectores multimedia, wifi, pizarras digitales, etc.-, y en la docencia virtual mediante iniciativas en formación e implantación de plataformas informáticas; (2) la investigación: conocer la dotación personal de medios técnicos, la dotación web de medios bibliográficos, y la divulgación de la actividad investigadora mediante herramientas TIC,

availability to staff
Explanation:
I understand it as the technical resources that are available to the staff (el personal) - for example whether every teacher has a computer (not sure if they mean of their own, or belonging to the institution).

Thus, "dotación web de medios bibliográficos" would mean the availability or provision of biblio refs online (again, it's unclear which "web" they mean, but it's probably the one belonging to the institution/university/college)...

In this case, "dotación personal de medios técnicos" would be the technical resources that are available to the staff for research purposes.
