ABSTRACT
This paper examines some of the issues for creating a self-sustaining model for encouraging and promoting the use of technology in the classroom in a Liberal Arts environment. Technologists, Librarians and other existing academic support organizations must collaborate to foster an environment that encourages peer-mentoring amongst faculty. Generating enthusiasm for technology in the classroom cannot be done with static one-way communication.
