Hi Jean.

This is Dan Meyers from Miami University in Oxford, OH.  For our  
Interactive Language Resource Center (ILRC), my position is full time,  
1FTE, 12 month position. We are an institution of 16,500 students with  
15 languages offered, and enroll about 4100 FTEs in languages a year  
(including summer sessions).

We once had staffing of two graduate students and up to 8  
undergraduates, but because of the state of the nation and funding  
cutbacks, we had to give our graduate positions back to the central  
administration and are now only at 4 undergraduates. When the student  
assistants aren't working, I man the lab myself or direct the students  
needing help to my office next door to the lab.

Hope that this helps you out. Good luck to you with your effort.
