He is responsible for acquiring and using statistical data sets and helping patron, faculty, students, etc. with number crunching and formatting data with SPSS, Stata, etc. So I would guess these new positions may have these types of duties focusing or combined with geospatial data.

What, exactly, does that mean? All I can think of is the alternatives - visual, textual - Or opposites being: connotative or qualitative. Thoughts? Thanks. Angie
