About the CML
The Curriculum Materials Libraries (CMLs) are designed for use by education students and professors at Grand Valley State University.
The CMLs are a part of the Grand Valley State University Libraries. The function of the CMLs is to make a sampling of current, high-quality instructional materials, for preschool through grade 12, available for preview, review, analysis, and use. The CMLs serve the students and faculty in the College of Education and in other departments offering content-area courses of education. We prioritize our purchases to make sure that materials which directly support course work are available at our locations, because these materials prepare students to the meet requirements of educational degrees and credentials.
There are two Curriculum Materials centers to serve the education faculty and students at GVSU. The CML-DeVos, located in 201A DeVos, primarily serves the College of Education faculty and students located on the Pew Campus in Grand Rapids. The CML-Zumberge, located in room 205 of the Zumberge Library, primarily serves the content-area faculty and students on the Allendale campus.
As a part of the University Libraries, the CMLs are open to all library patrons, including full-time and part-time students and faculty in all academic departments, document delivery 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.
Reference, information services, bibliographic instructions, and tours are provided at CML.

Policies
Circulation Loan Policies at GVSU Libraries
CML Reserve Requests:
Reserving an Item from the Curriculum Materials Libraries
Because of the unique collection, students and faculty are strongly encouraged to plan ahead when using items from the CMLs for classroom projects or presentations. To reserve a video, puppet, or hands-on item or kit, please contact Dawn Burnaby through email at burnabyd@gvsu.edu.
The CML Reserve Request is different than placing a hold through the other main libraries. The Library Hold Request is used when an item is checked out. When the item is returned to the Library, it will be held for you at the location you requested for pickup. The Library Course Reserve is also different from the CML Reserve Request. Course Reserve is used by faculty to place certain books or journal articles on reserve at the Circulation Desks (Zumberge Library on the Allendale campus, Steelcase Library on the Pew Campus, and the Library desk on the Meijer Campus) or electronically for their students' use at the any GVSU Library.
Collection Policy for the CMLs:
We prioritize our purchaces to make sure that materials which directly support course work are available at our locations, because these materials prepare students to meet the 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.

Tours of the CMLs
If faculty would like to bring classes to a CML, we will be glad to arrange a tour of the facility. We offer several types of tours, depending on the needs of the students and class objectives.
- A general tour of a CML takes about 45 minutes. An explanation of the book collection, videos, and teaching aids available for checkout, use of the computer lab, and the proper use of the educational equipment is included. Questions are encouraged from your students.
- Tours are designed around the specific needs of the class.
- If faculty would like the class to do a project as a part of the visit, we will design the tour around the specific resources you have in mind.
- If faculty would like the students to also receive library research instructions at the Steelcase or Zumberge Libraries, a combination tour can be arranged.
Tours involving a project or a combination tour of the libraries takes more time. We try to work within the time constraints.
Tour Policies
Tours are to be scheduled at least one week in advance.
Faculty must attend the tour with their class.
Tours are scheduled according to the convenience of the CML staff.
For more information, contact us via telephone or email: Dawn 616.331.2086 or burnabyd@gvsu.edu or Rita 616.331.2622 kohrmanr@gvsu.edu.
