Collections
Textbook Collection
Current examples of teachers' editions of elementary and secondary level textbook series for all major subject areas are located in the IMC.
Professional Collection
This collection consists of handbooks for teachers--suggestions for classroom activities, lesson preparation, bulletin boards, bibliographies, curriculum guides, and instructional methods books. More theoretical, education research-based books are located in the main library collection.
Children's Book Collections
This collection reflects the holdings of a K-12 level school library. Older editions of fiction, nonfiction and picture books for children are available in the historical children's book collection. Many of the books illustrate some of the earlier trends in the development of children's literature.
Multimedia Collection
The IMC is the repository for all media purchased by the library, whether appropriate for use by young children or university students and instructors. Formats include videotapes, games, realia, models, puppets, computer software, multimedia kits, and audiocassettes. Faculty/staff requests for purchase of materials for the media collection are made through the regular acquisitions channels (through Collection Development). Requests should include an indication of the specific format of the material.
