WELCOME TO THE LEARNING CURRICULUM RESOURCE LIBRARY!
Learning Curriculum Resource Library Book List
The Learning Curriculum Resource Library (LCRL) is a collection of print publications selected to complement programs sponsored by the Learning Curriculum/Staff Learning and intended for use by UM library staff. Titles are included in the LCRL at the suggestion of program facilitators or are selected by the Staff Learning office. Occasionally, titles suggested by Library staff are included in the collection. Selected titles must directly relate to workshops offered by Staff Learning and Development. Titles suggested by library staff are not selected if they are already held in the UM Library main collection.
Titles selected will be current editions wherever possible. Retrospective selection will not occur, unless a title is specifically requested by a Learning Curriculum program facilitator. Computer titles will remain in the collection until the software program in question is considered obsolete. The LCRL is housed in the Planning and Administrative Services Division (PASD) Office (7109 McKeldin), and titles circulate internally to library faculty, staff, graduate assistants and student assistants.
*To check out a book for 3 weeks, please contact Dawn Borgardt (dsb@umd.edu, X4-2677)
**The Learning Curriculum Resource Library also has Quick Study Guides on a variety of computer applications. Please contact Dawn Borgardt for more information about titles.
