Statement of Policy & Text
|
|
|
The specialized collections of the Educational Resource Center (ERC) are available for in-library use and, for circulation by faculty, students, and the public.
|
|
Need for the Policy
|
|
|
The primary need for this policy is to ensure that the ERC collection is:
- Available to SJSU students to fulfill course requirements
- Accessible to the general public.
|
|
Requirements & Guidelines
|
|
|
- When appropriate, and based upon demand, SJPL will purchase additional, matching copies of highly-sought teaching materials.
- An advisory board, comprised of prominent local educational leaders, has been established to guide the emphasis and direction of the ERC.
- The ERC is composed of 5 major collections:
1. Children’s Award Winners
SJSU’s collection of children’s award-winning titles and books of literary interest.
2. Curriculum Collection
SJSU’s collection of teacher, professional and curriculum materials published within the last 10 years.
3. California Textbooks
SJSU’s collection of currently adopted state textbooks for grades K-12. These materials have a 1 week loan period but may not be placed on hold. Faculty and graduate students may check out materials for longer loan periods.
4. Big Books
Oversized versions of children’s classics, suitable for reading aloud in group or classroom settings, also great for studying the art techniques of illustrators of children’s books.
5. Libraries and Learning: Information on literacy and school library materials.
- The ERC also maintains a webpage on the Library website. See http://www.sjlibrary.org/research/erc/index.htm
