Rick,

The University of Iowa College of Liberal Arts Grants Office is writing a
proposal to the Department of Ed. to establish a summer institute in
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) literacy for librarians.  The
proposed institute is for 5 days and will be open to both public and
academic librarians who work with map collections and/or government docs.
The sessions will be comprised of a combination of theory, practical
information and hands-on training.

The guidelines for this program require that we justify the length of the
institute.  So far we have been unable to find any documentation which
verifies that an institute of this length can adequately train people in
new technologies, or, better yet, that it is an ideal platform for such
training.

Have you had any experience in workshops or institutes such as this which
focus on technological training?  If so, what were your findings as to
necessary length?  If not, do you have any idea who we can contact or what
sources we could turn to for some justification or discussion?

Our deadline is tomorrow, of course.  Any way you can help?  Anything
would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
