My personal struggleWhere to start?What to teach?
![Page 5: Nevada Geographic Information Society Presentation. May 5, 2014](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042723/58819ffd1a28ab1a398b4ff9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
80/20 Rule-80% of people need 20% of what ArcGIS can do
-People want to visualize their data/research in order to recognize spatial patterns in the data
Example:-Social Work Faculty
-Reno Homeless Project

What teaching strategy is best?It’s a toss up

What Next?-GIS/Geospatial Data Center
-many academic libraries offer some level of GIS support
-Simple? -Walk in sessions
-Or Advanced?-Data Storage-App Development-High Level Computing
