S-VHS (Panasonic AG1970)
Laser Disk Player (Pioneer LD-V4400)
digital/video projection unit (Eiki)
a computer which is equipped to connect to the campus network and is one of the following types:

- Macintosh PowerPC 6100/60AV with sound, CD-ROM, 250 MB HD, 40 MB RAM and 14" color monitor.

The list of items collected for preparation of teaching materials are located in the Teaching Resources Center in Walker:

     1 Sun work station
     2 multi-media PC's (pentium-based Gateway 2000)
     1 PowerPC Macintosh 8100/80AV
     2 PowerPC Macintosh 6100/60AV
     4 GB storage disk
     1 optical storage unit
     1 slide scanner
     1 laser disk player
     1 Post Script printer (black & white)
     1 color printer
     1 digital slide recorder
     1 projection unit

Five color scanners have been located in public lab sites (or choose the TABLE view if you have Netscape 1.1*) on campus.

A CD-ROM writer is located in the Center for Music Technology.

The Technology Advisory Council (or choose the TABLE view if you have Netscape 1.1*) designed a plan for faculty supervision of the multimedia carts. Essential elements of the plan were

the mobile carts serve an entire building, thus requiring some inter-departmental cooperation
a network of support be provided for training and use of the equipment on the cart

The title of Multimedia Technology Specialist (MTS) (or choose the TABLE view if you have Netscape 1.1*) has been given to these faculty. Each of them has a computer identical to the corresponding cart computer, with the understanding that a swap will be made if, in an emergency, the cart computer is in repair.
