AbstractDigital Help with a Human Touch: Video, IM and GIS Track: Using GIS in Libraries and Museums Author(s): Michael Howser, Robbyn Abbitt, Ken Grabach Within today's information society with portable music and video players everywhere it's time to break from the traditional instructional handouts model and into the digital age. At Miami University a team of librarians and geographers have come together to create an iPod video series to provide GIS instruction and support to students. By combining video with Instant Messaging assistance, GIS support has migrated into a fast, convenient, and flexible support model to meet today's students needs. Join us as we explore how technology infused with geographic literacy principles can help to meet the needs of your students.
