Surveys of high galactic latitude sky will be undertaken to learn the source of the cosmic infrared background. This project covers the shallow survey which has a dual purpose. It provides the modest-depth, large area survey descirbed below and provides an area from which to select targets for IRS spectroscopy by combining the MIPS data with groundbased optical imaging. First we will use MIPS primarily at 24um to survey the 14h+34d field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field survey, identify targets from these observations that are bright enough to obtain spectra with IRS and meet selection criteria defined by the combined team, and obtain low resolution IRS spectra of these sources from 5.3-40um. A prime selection criterion for obtaining IRS spectra will be that they must be brighter than 1 mJy at 24um. Generally the main science goal of the IRS observation will be to determine redshifts from IR spectral features. The targets chosen for IRS observation will generally be faint enough so that optically determined redshifts will not be feasible even with 10m telescopes.
