The Instructional Materials Center (IMC) was first established in January, 1971 within Rowe Hall under the direction of John Bergeson. The purpose of the center was to provide access to CMU education students to new instructional materials and was divided into sections for display, demonstration and reference work. The center provides Pre K-12 manipulative materials, kits, games, puppets, charts, maps, models, and other resources used in educational settings. The Statement of Library Principles expresses that "It is the mission of the CMU Kromer IMC to support the teaching, research, and service missions of the University through the provision of appropriate resources and services. As part of its collection development program, the IMC encourages the participation of its users, particularly faculty, in the selection of materials."
