In addition to the Curriculum and School Collections of materials for use in teacher education, the Education and Social Science Library houses an extensive reference collection of guides to curriculum-related materials. These sources provide access to textbooks, curriculum guides, audiovisual materials, instructional programs, and other materials for use in classroom settings for early childhood, elementary, and secondary education. Used in conjunction with the Curriculum and School Collections, this reference guide may facilitate the selection of specific resources from the Library's substantial holdings. Used on their own, the sources listed in this guide will provide information to aid in selecting the most useful resources from those currently available.
Please see the separate guides to the Curriculum Collection, the School Collection, and Sources in Education for descriptions of related resources.
Most titles in this guide are available in the Education and Social Science Library with more precise locations indicated in parentheses after each call number.
