Education (Teacher Certification) Collection Policy

The library collects journals, monographic series, monographs, and specialized reference works. Other types--including works addressed to a popular, nonscholarly audience or instructional recordings--are considered selectively. Examples of curriculum materials for pre-college grades are no longer collected. Textbooks meeting specific criteria are also purchased. For more on textbook and course readings purchasing, visit the following link: Collections Policy - Required Textbook and Course Reading Collections Policy - Library Guides at Tulane University.

To broaden accessibility to the education program's majority online community, all materials are sought online when this format is available with an appropriate price point. Print may be cancelled to reduce costs when ownership of the online version is assured. Online access that requires additional costs with a print subscription will be sought selectively within the amount budgeted for psychology journals. Resources are purchased as print when appropriate. Historically, print materials were given preference.
