The '''National Instructional Television Library''' was formed in 1962, an agency funded by the U.S. Office of Education and operated by National Educational Television in New York City. NIT was founded as a way to distribute instructional television programming and associated materials to educational television studios throughout the U.S. In 1965, NIT would part ways with NET and relocate to its present home in Bloomington, Indiana, where it became the National Center for School and College Television. The NCSCT was operated by the Indiana University foundation. In 1968, the service was renamed the National Instructional Television Center. NIT would become an independent, self-supporting, non-profit organization in 1970, and would begin supplying educational programming to the newly-formed PBS, the Public Broadcasting Service, which had risen from the ashes of NIT's former operator, NET. On April 11, 1973, NIT would be incorporated into the Agency for Instructional Television. It would slightly change its name to the Agency for Instructional Technology on July 1, 1984, to reflect other uses to electronically distribute instructional material, such as via videocassette and computer. AIT closed in 2015, and its archives and corporate files have since been moved to the Indiana University Libraries' [https://media.dlib.indiana.edu/catalog?f%5Bcollection_ssim%5D%5B%5D=Agency+for+Instructional+Technology Moving Image Archive]. | The '''National Instructional Television Library''' was formed in 1962, an agency funded by the U.S. Office of Education and operated by National Educational Television in New York City.

'''Editor's Note:''' The beginning of the logo bears a striking resemblance to the 2nd [[Roadshow Films (Australia)]] logo, but the variant also is clearly made to be a bit cheaper, as the "at"'s shining is off of it. | '''Editor's Note:''' The beginning of the logo bears a striking resemblance to the 2nd [[Roadshow Films (Australia)]] logo, but the variant also is clearly made to be a bit cheaper, as the "at"'s shining is off of it. | ||

As this happens, a {{Font color|blue|bluish}} rectangle with rounded corners flips around, and the letters "'''AIT'''" in a white futuristic font with a line going through the center flip around and stop right on the rectangle.
