Textbook Collection

• The library generally purchases at least one copy of every textbook for undergraduate courses.
• It is located behind the Information Desk against the side wall opposite the offices.      
• Textbooks in the collection are updated every semester.
• There are two copies of some of the most popular textbooks. 
• Textbooks are shelved alphabetically by title. 
  • Ignore starting prepositions like: 
    • A
    • An
    • The
    • EXAMPLE: The exceptional child: inclusion in early childhood education would be shelved under "E" for Exceptional
  • Do look at words like "Introduction", which would be shelved under "I"
    • EXAMPLE: An introduction to early childhood special education: birth to age five would be shelved under "I" for Introduction
    • EXAMPLE: The insider's guide to the psychology major would be shelved under "I" for Insider's
• When pulling a textbook, if you notice it is damaged please let your supervisor or the librarian know.

What is a Course Reserve?  

• An item that a professor wants on reserve for a course they are teaching.   
• These include AV Materials (usually DVDs) and Books 

Course Reserves are on the bookcase behind the Information Desk, in order as follows:

• Alphabetically by professor
• Then by course number
• Then alphabetically by title

All course reserves are checked out for three (3) hours. Ideally, they should be used in the library, but exceptions are allowable.
