To determine what educational background is needed by practitioners, a survey was conducted of audiovisual personnel in Indiana schools with enrollments of 1,000 to 2,000. A questionnaire was mailed to 104 schools and respondents asked to describe their responsibility for audiovisual equipment and software, budgetary duties, and production of audiovisual aids. Opinions on the value of inservice training programs and recommendations for course content in media-specialist college curricula were also sought. Titles of personnel, size of staff, and audiovisual budget by institution are included. Appendixes include the questionnaire and letter to respondents. (SK)
