Biographical / Historical
The University of Northern Iowa's Educational Media Center was a campus-wide organization created to facilitate learning through providing faculty with media and equipment to help them in the classroom. The organization created informational booklets beginning in 1949, branched out to create Curriculum Laboratory informational booklets and catalogues in 1959, and started creating multi-media catalogues in 1972. These materials were published until 1992, when the organization became the Center for Educational Technology.
