K-12 Curriculum Materials   Tags: curricula, curriculum, education, teaching, textbooks  

The K-12 Curriculum Materials Collection moved in February from Regenstein Room 406 to Regenstein 354.  The collection moved for several reasons:

• To provide additional shelving space for this growing collection.
• To allow for larger groups to use the room.  The new room seats 16 comfortably.
• To consolidate Regenstein’s circulating collections into the book stacks area for easy navigation.

If you have questions about the move, please feel free to contact Rebecca Starkey.
