IMC General Information

The Instructional Materials Centre has been providing a diverse collection of media resources to teachers since 1979. It grew and expanded from the original Co-operative Film Library, established in 1969, to include resources from all over the system. Over the years it has developed into a first class resource library for teachers and is now able to boast an impressive variety of curriculum related media and support for classroom teachers.  We now have streamed video into our classrooms through two delivery systems -  MonD and Learn360 and we continue to explore new ways of providing service to the teachers and classrooms of Lakehead Public Schools.

The Instructional Materials Centre is responsible for the acquisition, cataloguing, circulation and storage of approximately 1300 digital files, 300 VHS/DVS programs and 800 multi-media kits.

As well, the IMC provides a fully equipped Teacher’s Workroom where teachers can come to laminate, photocopy, and produce a wide range of resources for their classrooms. Do-It-Yourself on-site workroom use is FREE for employees of Lakehead Public Schools, our Insource service is available at a small cost to Lakehead Public Schools educators, and External/Personal use is also permitted and prices are posted.

Our operating hours are 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday to Friday.  The IMC Staff look forward to seeing and serving you.
