ABOUT THE CMC

The Curriculum Materials Center (CMC) houses a representative collection of materials commonly used in public and private schools. The collection includes children's and young adult literature, content-area textbooks from a variety of publishers and other curricular materials, courses of study, instructional aids, educational media, and other materials suitable for PreK-12 classrooms. Christian education and ministry-related resources are also available in a variety of formats. Although primarily used by education majors, others will find helpful materials here as well.

An ID card is issued to all faculty, staff, and students. Patrons with borrowing privileges, but not in one of the above categories, will not be permitted to check out materials. This policy does not affect examination of materials in the CMC by any patron. Everyone is welcome to use the collection.

Renewals

CMC materials may be renewed unless restrictions have been placed on those materials or other patrons have requested them. Renewal privileges shall not allow borrower to violate the maximum specified for some materials.

Restricted Materials

Some CMC materials, because of their content, are restricted to use in the Library. These include reference books, children's periodicals, and the Historical Collection.

Reserved Materials

In order to make certain that some materials are available to all members of a class, instructors sometimes place materials on reserve. Students must receive these materials from Circulation desk personnel.

Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all times in the CMC.
