Farnsworth, William Dewey, 1921-

The BYU Learning Resource Division was also known as the Division of Communication Services, and the Division of Instructional Services. Since the 1970s, the Resources Division has been known as Broadcast Services.

The Division of Learning Resources was established in 1965 under the name of the Division of Communication Services which was organized to coordinate the entire communication and media program at the University. Former chairman of the Electrical Engineering Department, Darrel J. Monson, was selected to be the director of the new division. Five departments, which constituted the division at this time and their directors were: Motion Picture Production, Wetzel O. Whitaker; Educational Media Services, R. Irwin Goodman; Broadcast Services, T.M. Williams, and a year later Earl J. Glade, Jr; University Press, Frank Haymore; and the Photo Studio, Jerry Rogers. Shortly after this, another department was added, the Communications Systems Department, under the temporary direction of Mr. Monson. In 1967 this department's name was changed to Electronic Media Department under the direction of Robert J. Drake and two years later under Dean Austin.
