                              INTRODUCTION
                 The EPA Instructional Resources Center
The purpose of the IRC is to systematically inventory and maintain current
pollution control training and education materials and to disseminate these
materials to governmental agencies, educational institutions and the private
sector.

The materials maintained by the IRC are listed in a comprehensive computerized
information base  called the Instructional Resources Information System
(IRIS).  IRIS categorizes each item according to several specific parameters
including the title, author, source and an abstract.  This information is
available to assist in selecting materials for pollution control instructional
uses.

A major service of the IRC is the Lending Library.  The purpose of this
component is to lend audiovisual instructional units to education and training
organizations to support classroom activities.  Slide/tape units, videocassette
units and films are available for rent on a short-term basis.  This Water
Quality Control Audiovisual- Instructional Materials catalog has been prepared
to inform water quality control training personnel about supporting materials
and services available from the Lending Library.

Instructional materials available from the Lending Library fall into two
categories—audiovisual supportive materials and packaged courses.   The
following pages of this catalog provide information on audiovisual materials
and packaged training courses that can be rented on a short-term basis from
the Lending Library.  Audiovisual materials are designed to supplement
pollution control courses—they are not designed for independent learning.
The packaged courses include a complete unit of printed and audiovisual
materials to teach a specific pollution control topic or procedure.

Some materials are also available for purchase.  These include publications,
slide/tape units and videocassettes.  For further information contact:

      listing, articles such as "The" and "A" have been omitted.

 II.  Topical Index

      Lists, by subject headings,  all items in order by number.

III.  Slide-Tape (XT) Instructional Units

      Lists, by XT number, all slide-tape units except those included as
      part of a course module.  Provides  a description of each XT unit.

 IV.  Videocassette (VC) Instructional Programs

      Lists, by VC number, all videocassette programs.  Provides a description
      of each program.

  V.  Course Modules

      Alphabetically lists course modules and provides a description of each.

          must be purchased separately when purchasing slides or tapes.
          They are not  included in the price of the A/V materials.
      9.  Notes, copyright, availability, rating.  Staff have been reviewing
          the A/V materials and reviewing user evaluation forms.  As time
          permits we are  going through all the materials to improve the
          quality of  the  items and to let users know how others have evaluated
          the materials.  Ratings are given from Category 1 (highest)  to
          Category 4  (lowest). Category  1 and  2 items have received nearly
          good to excellent ratings from reviewers.  Category 3 and 4  ratings
          mean these have been evaluated to need changes in content and/or
          audio/visual  materials by at least a number of people.

-------
 We plan to modify items with the lower ratings  as  funds permit.  We
 appreciate user evaluations and will  continue to work  to improve the materials
 and to provide user feedback regarding the materials.  Please complete user
 evaluation forms when returning materials.  They are being used!

                SLIDE-TAPE (XT)  INSTRUCTIONAL  UNITS
The slide-tape instructional units were developed  to  support EPA
training efforts in the area of water quality,  specifically wastewater
and drinking water.  Users should review materials to assure compliance
with state and local regulations or procedures  which  may vary  from those
presented.

Although the units were designed to be used as  supplemental materials
integrated into water quality training courses, many  of the programs
provide adequate coverage of a particular topic to be used as
self-instructional units.

For more detailed and comprehensive coverage of specific topics refer to
the section on "Course Modules."

Each XT unit consists of a set of 2" x 2" color slides in  a Kodak slide
carousel, a cassette tape and a script.  The cassette tapes advanced  the
slides automatically when played on a slide-sync tape player  that uses the
Norelco system  (1000 Hz inaudible cue on a separate track).   For  manual
advance of the slides, the script should be used as a guide.

-------
                SUGGESTIONS  FOR THE DISCUSSION LEADER
PREPARATION:

-See the catalog description  of  the  intended audience for the unit.
-Preview the instructional unit.
-Review the unit topic.

References are listed in the  catalog.  The script and any associated
information are sent with the unit.  Questions about content should be
directed to:

                    EPA  Instructional Resources Center
                       1200 Chambers Road, Room 310
                           Columbus, OH   43212

-Give viewers sufficient notice  of any preparatory assignments.

UTILIZATION:

-Tell the viewers about  the content  of the program and important points to
 notice while viewing.   Tell  them to concentrate on seeing and hearing rather
 than on taking notes during  the presentation.
-Run the program.  The tape playback can be stopped during the program, if
 desired.
-Conduct a discussion of the  content.  Particular slides can be projected
 if desired.
-If necessary, run the program again.

    WASTEWATER OPERATIONS
2.  VC-150 thru VC-164
3.  Each unit in this section consists of four different parts:

    .  The Videocassette presents the subject matter to the operator;
    .  The Workbook Notes are provided to guide the operator through
      the unit and include sketches, problem examples and tables;
    .  The Practice Problems show the operator applications of subject
      matter for use after studying the tape and workbook notes.  The
      Academic Tests are used to determine if the operator has
      achieved the objectives of the unit.

      Although the operator can proceed at his/her own pace, a group
      leader should oversee the operator's progress and clarify
      information where needed.  Workbook Notes should be reproduced
      for each participant.
