Textbooks and other Curriculum Materials

In conjunction with its Textbook Policy, University Library does not collect K-12 textbooks.    GSU Library also does not collect curriculum materials such as kits, CD-ROMs, etc.   

If you do not have access to materials from a school library media center, you may want to visit the Curriculum Materials Center at nearby Atlanta University Center.   With an ARCHE card obtained from the Circulation Desk on the 1st floor of Library North, you will have access to the materials within the CMC such as the textbooks and can also check out circulating books.   See the link below for more information on the CMC.
