Yes, there has been some discussion of this, and I'm hoping there will be more before the end of the year. If we were to make a recommendation that the Academic Senate and the administration help organize and support such a program, I can't predict exactly what the response would be, although I'm inclined to think it would be sympathetic. I can tell you some things, however. Faculty colleagues are helping each other. Graduate students are helping faculty.
Undergraduates supplement what they learn in the classroom by helping each other out.
Staff members are learning how to ask for and find help, too. We have no formal recognition, yet, that such a device would be helpful, or that it is something busy people should be encouraged to spend their time doing. So there is, to put it differently, no clear and accepted incentive for people who do have skills and experience that can be taught and disseminated to spend time doing that, rather than, say, writing a paper or teaching a course. I should mention the work Dr. Kevin Roddy does as a liaison between the Division of Information Technology and members of the teaching staff who have problems they need to solve, installing a piece of software, for example, or getting help with a particular network application. This work is important and appreciated, but we need a way to build on it and broaden the base.
