Hi, folks -

I regularly use case studies from the National Center for Case Study
Teaching in Science.  They just announced their first case study using
GIS which includes the data for a case examining toxic releases and
applying the Toxic Release Inventory.  Just another example of  the
spread of GIS outside geography, but something I thought you might be
interested in having in your kit.  Besides downloading the "printable"
case materials you can order a CD with the ArcView readable data.  The
URI is:

Just FYI, I've found this is a terrific resource for faculty using case
studies in many different disciplines (I use several of their non-IT
cases to teach students about the case study method before we take off
into the world of network and IT management case studies.)
