Hi all,

Do you have any information about the guidelines on how to staff your
language center/lab/unit? How do you decide how many or just one half-time
tech support staff  are/is needed? Is it based on one tech support to 50
computers, usage numbers, foreign language faculty, student users, and/or
the whole faculty and student body on campus? Certainly, as time goes by or
after a new center starts, many LLCs may be funded by grants. But if is not
funded by grants, how did you obtain your technology support?

As for a small center, I know that the director probably has to take care
of everything with or without technology support from students.

Thank you for your immediate, direct reply.
