Additionally the CMC has a professional collection on education topics such as teaching strategies, special education issues etc. Curriculum Bulletins and Theses are also available for reference.
Professor Amy Catalano, the CMC/Education Librarian, provides classes in the use of the Center and can custom tailor a session to meet the needs of a particular department. She is also available to answer questions regarding the CMC collection as well as those questions related to education as a discipline. In so doing, she is assisted by three full time support staff and several adjunct library faculty.
