Textbooks for lesson planning

The LRC maintains a collection of textbooks from Grades K-12. The textbooks are especially useful for designing lesson plans. The collection contains teacher and student editions as well as supplemental material. Subjects covered range from Social Studies and Science to Music and Foreign Language.

The textbook collection is organized and shelved separately from our other collections. It also has a unique cataloging system, but can be searched for in the same databases at the rest of our materials. The textbooks are organized according to subject, publisher, year, grade level, and format.

The LRC uses the Library of Congress call number system for its collections, with the exception of textbooks and journals.

Journals

Many journals are now available online or as electronic journals at www.lib.ku.edu

• Journals are for use only in the LRC to keep them available for patrons.
• Copies can be made in the LRC for $0.10 per page.
• When finished with journals, please return them to the circulation desk.
