#40071 RECORDS OF THE MEDIA AND INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT CENTER in the University Archives and Records Service University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Wilson Library, CB# 3926 Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27514-8890 July, 1987 The concept for the Media and Instructional Support Center evolved from a July 1973 proposal drafted by humanities and social sciences faculty for an agency to promote the development of and wider use of audiovisual materials in campus classrooms. The Provost's office acted favorably on the proposal, and the General Assembly approved a 1974/1975 Change Budget request for such a center. While a faculty committee searched for a director of the Center, Ken McIntyre, Director of the Bureau of Audiovisual Education, was given control of the approved supply, equipment, and other nonpersonnel funds. Late in 1975 the search committee reported to the Provost its selection of School of Journalism Professor Donald L. Shaw for the position of Director. This selection was approved by the campus administration and the UNC Board of Governors to be effective on March 1, 1976. On July 1, 1976, the Media and Instructional Support Center became a functioning reality with administrative offices in Dey Hall. Originally placed under the supervision of the Bureau of Audiovisual Education, the Center was assigned administrative responsibility for the Foreign Language Laboratory in December 1976. Over the next decade the Center's range of activities came to include the following: 1. Faculty Development--improvement of teaching methods and performance; 2. Non-Print Collection storage and bibliographic control of the campus audiovisual holdings; 3. Instructional Development--materials design and production support; 4. Equipment and Technical Services--procurement, maintenance and operation of AV equipment; 5. Photographic Laboratory--providing a wide range of still photographic processing; and 6. Telecommunications Development--installation and operation of two-way television facilities for class use. In the fall of 1986, the Media and Instructional Support Center was divided into two administrative entities--the Classroom Technologies Service Center and the Center for Teaching and Learning.
