I'm in the process creating a new Language Resource Center at SLU and am
seeking information on how other departments run this area of their business:

1.  Is the director a tenure-track or tenured professor?  If so, how many
other courses does s/he teach and what is the teaching load at your school?
Or is this a full-time staff position?

2.  How is funding provided?  Do you assess a lab fee per student?  If so, is
it for every course every semester?  Do you also receive money from the Dean?

3.  Do you have a full-time technology person that work there or is this a
part of the director's job?

4.  Do you employ student workers?  How are they paid?

5.  Have you digitized your materials yet?  How are you coping with copyright
laws?

6.  What kind of check-out system do you have for hard copy materials?

Thanks for this and any other info you can provide,
Stuart
