Instructional Materials Center (IMC)
Located on the ground floor of King Library
Videos – A wide range of subject material can be located via the library catalog and retrieved by request
at the IMC service desk. Please contact us to book a film to show in class, place a film on reserve for your
students, or request a film to be purchased for classroom use. We are also able to digitize films to be
viewed online through Niihka/Canvas. Miami University Libraries will encode videos that are owned by
the Libraries and have captioning available on the source media. This does not include videos that only
have subtitles available.
Children’s and Young Adult Literature – More than 20,000 picture books, fiction, and nonfiction titles
written for children and young adults; big books appropriate for group story sharing; and a growing
collection of books and learning materials in languages other than English.
Foreign Language Materials – A variety of books and kits in several languages including Chinese,
Japanese, French, German, and Spanish.
Children’s Magazines – Subscriptions covering language arts, science, social studies, and sports can be
circulated to all Miami ID holders for 3 weeks.
