There are now two curriculum centers to serve the education faculty and students at GVSU. The CML serves the students and faculty both in the College of Education and in other departments offering content-area courses.The CML-DeVos, located in 201A DeVos,  primarily serves the College of Education faculty and students located on the Pew (the Grand Rapids) Campus. The CML-Zumberge primarily serves the content-area faculty and students on the Allendale campus. The CML-Z is located in 205 Zumberge Library on the Allendale campus.

As a part of the University Libraries, the CML is open to all library patrons, including full and part-time students and faculty in all academic departments, Interlibrary Loan borrowers, and Michicard patrons. Restrictions may apply to non-GVSU patrons. Please review the services for non-GVSU patrons. Services in this facility are for current students, faculty, and staff for class or department related projects only.

Collection Policy:
Priority for purchase is given to materials which most directly support course work in preparing students to meet requirements of educational degrees and credentials.

Materials selection criteria consider the potential use of the materials on both a current and a long-term basis. Materials should receive favorable reviews in the professional literature of a given subject field or in a standard review source. Materials should also support the current courses at GVSU.

Suggestions for purchase by faculty and students are followed up with a review search, if at all possible. Choice of each item is based on its relationship to the CML collections and its contribution to stated collection development policies.
