The Wilcox CRC has a rich and varied collection of various formats in the field of education. All of these collections are geared for school and classroom use to support the curriculum and research of the Beeghly College of Education's faculty and teacher candidates. In addition to the various text resources described herein, the Wilcox CRC also includes an extensive array of educational multi-media resources such as puppets, educational games, video recordings, software, DVDs, and maps. Many instructional equipment items; such as overhead projectors, video camcorders, digital cameras among others, can also be borrowed to assist and document BCOE teacher candidate instruction. The Wilcox CRC does not duplicate titles held at Maag Library, and vice-versa. For a listing of new titles received at the Wilcox CRC check out the New Titles web page. |
