Abstract	A survey examined perception and use of the services of the Instructional Systems Laboratory (ISL) by the faculty of the University of Minnesota's College of Education. The questionnaire, mailed to all College of Education faculty members, emphasized faculty perception of instructional systems in the following areas: (1) instructional commitment: provision for service, service quality, provision for technology, and financing program; (2) instructional systems: consulting, staffing, planning/design, and use; (3) ISL: accessibility, staff involvement, information dissemination, technology availability, storage and retrieval, equipment maintenance, and production; (4) facilities: physical plant adequacy, environment, furnishing, and availability; and (5) user participation and skills. Based on a 42.9% return rate, results indicate that faculty members did not know enough about ISL to utilize it effectively. The majority of responding faculty members (83.5 percent) use AV equipment to facilitate instruction, though only 58.2% utilized ISL-supplied equipment. Recommended actions to improve ISL contributions include establishment of new goals and objectives, a faculty advisory committee, and a formal plan for interuniversity communication. Recommendations are also provided for programed budgeting, instructional development, administrative adjustments, professional development, and funding. (LMM)
