The large microfilm cabinet that dominated the Steelcase Library reference area has found a new home. The microfilm, however, didn’t move too far–it’s now located in the automated retrieval system.

Plans are in the works for more student work areas in the wide open space where the microfilm cabinet once stood. And if you miss the cabinet, its individual components were moved to the fourth floor of Zumberge.

Over the summer, there were major changes to the KCRC (the Kindergarten through Twelve Grade Curriculum Resource Center) that was located in AuSable Hall on the Allendale Campus. Now the GVSU Libraries has two centers located on two campus serving all students and faculty. The two centers are now called the Curriculum Materials Library – DeVos (located in Room 201A DeVos on the Pew Campus) and the Curriculum Materials Library – Zumberge, (located in Room 205 Zumberge Library on the Allendale Campus).

The collection consists of items pre-service and in-service teachers might use in their classrooms. Textbook sets, videos/DVDs, hands-on materials and puppets are just a few items found in this unique collection. There are also machines (i.e.: laminating or binding machines) teachers might use found in the CMLs.

CML hours are Monday through Thursday, 10 AM to 9 PM; Friday 10 AM to 4:30 PM; Saturday 1 PM to 5 PM; Sunday closed. The CML-DeVos telephone number is 331.7084. The CML-Zumberge telephone number is 331.2086.
