I think it’s a great solution to have the media tutors supporting Google Earth and some support for ARC GIS. I hope that this will be sufficient for most of our students and faculty doing smaller projects. However our 2 interns were able to work more in-depth with our users, so I believe it will be important to evaluate how successful we are with students or faculty needing help beyond several hours of tutor time. Can the geography dept. GIS lab support more extensive requests from users outside geography? We currently have a prof working on a project that may test our limits. There’s also a difference between someone coming in to the lab and doing the work themself but needing help along the way at diffent times (similar to any other technology) and faculty who seek someone to do some of this GIS work for them. How much can be accommodated outside of summer projects? At what point does the faculty member need to hire a student research assistant from dept. or grant funds? I think our experiences over the next few years should help us to answer these questions and refine our program.
