While the majority of clients learned about CAGIS when they visited thr:<br />

Education Center or attended a briefing by the Education Center staff, about<br />

l/3 learned about CAGIS from a, co-worker. This would indicate that the<br />

program was felt to be valuable enough to recommend it to a friend.<br />

Because part of the data collection was designed to determine the relati,Je<br />

effectiveness of the two systems, several comparisons were made. Eighty-cr,e<br />

percent of the sites received GIS but only 45% of the User Surveys were<br />

returned from GIS sites. Clients spent more time using Discover (29% 46 to 60<br />

minutes) as opposed to GIS users who spent less time with that system (34%-16<br />

to 30 minutes). Seventy-one percent of the clients spent between sixteen and<br />

sixty minutes using the software. It is interesting to note that E3s and E6s<br />

are spending the most time using the computer. This appears to be a critical<br />

time for them in their careers. Eighty-one percent of the GIS users felt they<br />

understood the system they used, while 91 percent of the Discover users felt<br />

they understood that system.<br />

EFFECTIVENESS OF SYSTEMS<br />

In an attempt to determine the effectiveness of the two systems, clients were<br />

asked to compare the computer systems with other types of reference materials.<br />

The first question asked the client to rate the CAGIS information in relatrcn<br />

to any other reference source. Eighty-two percent of the users rated CAGIS<br />

either superior or better than any other sources. Clients were then asker:<br />

about the currency of the information, and again 77% rated the inform#a%icn<br />

either superior or decidedly more current.
