TMC Collection
		The Teaching Materials Center collection consists of both print and non-print materials for use in elementary, middle and secondary schools. The collection includes:
		Public school textbook section Children and young adult books, large multicultural collection Curriculum guides and teaching resource guides as well as periodicals Kits, videos, games, models, puppets, manipulatives Software programs General reference materials as well as Ed.S. papers
	Selection Policy Faculty, as well as students, are involved in the selection of materials. Requests from faculty members are solicited, and requests from students are recorded for possible purchase. Final authority in selection of materials rests with the director, in consultation with TMC faculty advisors. Every effort is made to avoid duplication of the Ingram Library collection. Basic factors in selection are: current curriculum needs and anticipated use. Donations will be accepted by the TMC, but the Center reserves the right to examine and evaluate the materials and include or dispose of them as dictated by the selection policy.
