THE LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER D. Parry Wilson, Dean William A. Daehling, Assistant Dean and Director of Instructional Technology Center Craige S. Hall, Director of Libraries The Learning Resource Center is the confluence of ideas that emerged from assessing the undergraduate academic program at the College, from examining the College's media resources and from projecting plans for the future of the Library. It has been organized to bring together the traditional library and audio-visual center into one administrative unit under a philosophy of a total learning resource center. The philosophy of a total learning resource center embraces the selection and evaluation, classification and cataloging, storage and housing, maintenance and repair, retrieval and distribution of any and all kinds of instructional materials, print and nonprint. But in addition to the application of library science to all instructional material, such philosophy involves the application of instructional technology to the teaching process. Two separate yet interrelated types of services are provided by The Learning Resource Center. (1) The production service covers a broad range of materials for the individual instructor or for designing entire courses involving a single medium or multi media. (2) The utilization service involves the application of educational technology and systems development for a single lecture presentation or for entire courses. These services exist to assist faculty members who request support in developing teaching improvements. In addition to providing services to faculty and students, The Learning Resource Center has responsibility for the instructional program in Instructional Media.
