ACRL Standards & Guidelineswww.ala.org/ala/acrl/acrlstandards/guidelinescurriculum.htm • Guidelines for Curriculum Materials Centers • Approved by ACRL and ALA, January 2003 • Curriculum materials centers are essential to the instructional and research needs of students and faculty in programs preparing educators for P-12 schools. These guidelines describe essential elements of administration, services, and collections for curriculum materials centers in all university and college settings. • These guidelines are intended for administrators at all levels of post-secondary education, particularly education deans or department chairs; library deans or directors; librarians responsible for curriculum materials centers; and accrediting and licensure agencies. • DEFINITIONS • P-12 refers to preschool through twelfth grade. • Curriculum materials are educational resources that provide curriculum and instructional experiences for P-12 students. These materials are used by educators to develop curricula and lesson plans and may also be used in actual instructional situations with P-12 students. These materials also provide information for those doing research. • Curriculum Materials Center (CMC) refers to a physical location of a curriculum materials collection. Curriculum materials centers are often housed in a main campus library, a branch library building, or in an academic building housing the campus education academic programs. • CMC users are education students and faculty, and may also include P-12 educators, other students, and community members as defined by the CMC’s mission. • Director refers to the librarian who has primary responsibility for the CMC; its facilities, administration, collection, personnel, and services
