This book captures the evolution of the education collections and services integral to teacher preparation. Edited by Rita Kohrman, education resources librarian at Grand Valley State University, the book provides practical applications for curriculum material center (CMC) operations that focus on the fundamental needs of students, faculty, and current teachers. The initial chapters focus on the foundations of placing CMCs within theoretical and historical contexts and their original goals, purposes, and services. The succeeding chapters discuss how curriculum centers are evolving to meet the changes in teacher preparation now and in the future.
