About IMS

IMS Vision
To Inspire the Use of Media as Curriculum.

Our Mission
To become a nationally recognized curriculum consultant to K-12 Educators and Textbook Publishers, providing curriculum-correlated multimedia that motivates the mind.

"Studies show that retention increases an average of 30% when classroom instruction is enhanced with audiovisual multimedia."*

"An educator's use of media in the classroom is no longer merely a supplement to the curriculum, in many cases, it IS the curriculum." *

Instructional Media Services
IMS is a Media Center serving educators with one of the nation's largest collections of Educational Multimedia, including Videos, Laserdiscs, filmstrips, slides, records, educational charts/study prints, and CD-ROMs.

Any educator in the country may utilize the IMS Library. IMS delivers directly to you via IMS Delivery or UPS, and each title ordered is issued for one-week (7 calendar days) retention periods.

NO RENTAL FEES are charged to educators who contract with IMS for Unlimited Usage; order as much as you want, as often as you want. Any item shipped that is not covered by an Unlimited Use contract will incur a rental charge for each item.

IMS is committed to enhancing the Media Library by actively seeking the most relevant, highest quality media through a disciplined review process involving evaluations and direct input from the teachers themselves.

If you've always been looking for that ONE place where you can go to get media on virtually any subject, your searching days are over ... you’ve found IMS.
