  Curriculum Library


Inter-Related Library Services               
One of the benefits of having the Curriculum Library in the Marriott Library is the proximity of the textbook materials to other resources that Education students might find useful. The Curriculum Library is located on the North side of Level 3, in the vicinity of other library services such as:

 

ERIC Microfiche Cabinets and Microforms Reader/Printers
South of the outer, wood paneled wall of the Curriculum Library there are several large microfiche cabinets. The ERIC microfiche collection is comprised of several hundred thousand microfiche that support Education monographs, conference proceedings, bibliographies and theses/dissertations. This is where users will come to find the "ED" accession numbers that they need when doing research in the ERIC database. None of these titles exist in paper format and that necessitates using a microfiche reader/printer in order to view the contents of the document or make print outs. Two machines for this purpose are placed here in order to view or print these microfiche.

 

Juvenile Literature & Index Tables
One of the major reasons for placing the Curriculum Library on Level 3 was to have convenient access to the Marriott Library’s sizeable Juvenile Literature Collection. This Collection is housed in the shelf ranges west of the Curriculum Library. These volumes are cataloged by Dewey Decimal call number, not the Library of Congress call number system.

The shelf range closest to the western wall of the Curriculum Library contains both a Curriculum Index Table (for supporting the ERIC and Education Indexes) and a Juvenile Literature Index Table, which is a terrific source for information about a variety of topics related to children’s books and authors. A UNIS terminal has been placed in this vicinity for ease of access in searching the online catalog for Juvenile Literature books.

 

Copy Center/Cashier
Also on the North side of Level 3, East of the Curriculum Library is the copy center/cashier. This is where students can put money on their ID card to make copies. They can also take their materials here to make photo copies of Curriculum materials. Library users can purchase a library card here.

 

Instruction Labs
Next to the East wall of the Curriculum Library are two instruction labs. Instructors can use these facilities to teach small classes in using databases and other library web resources.

 

Interlibrary Loans
The Interlibrary Loan department is where students go to request books and copies of journal articles for materials that are not owned by the Marriott Library. It is especially helpful for acquiring articles to journals for research results found in ERIC and other academic databases. It is located South of the Curriculum Library, next to Marriott Library Administration.
