----------------------------Original message---------------------------- MAPS-Lers; I am looking for some ideas of what a GIS Teaching Lab would need. Maximum machines, are they shared, networked, etc? What is the configuration of the computers, hardware, software, etc. I'm not necessarily interested in programs in libraries, but also in Geog. Depts., consulting firms, etc. If you could send me copies of extant or proposed labs, I'd be grateful. If this sort of thing is of interest to a wider audience, I'd be glad to compile.
