CHICAGO – The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) and the ACRL Education and Social Sciences Section (EBSS) announce the publication of the sixth edition of “Directory of Curriculum Materials Centers.” The directory updates the fifth edition, released as a digital publication in 2001.

“Directory of Curriculum Materials Centers” lists and describes curriculum materials centers or collections at institutions that responded to an electronic questionnaire sent out in the spring of 2007. The questionnaire was designed to provide basic information about curriculum materials centers such as location, contact information, short descriptions of the collections and open-ended comments from the respondents. The directory is arranged in alphabetical order by sponsoring institution.

The “Directory of Curriculum Materials Centers” was compiled by the EBSS Curriculum Materials Centers Directory Committee and is available for purchase through the ALA Online Store (http://www.alastore.ala.org) and by telephone order at (866) 746-7252 in the U.S. or (770) 442-8633 for international customers.
