The Anne Carroll Moore library is a circulating collection located in the Edith Bowen School. It exists primarily to serve the students and faculty of the School, but most materials may also be checked out by University students and staff. |
The Moore Library collection includes books, kits, various non-book materials, and a few serials. The serials are not cataloged, but are sent directly to the Moore Library. Most other materials are ordered through the Follett shelf ready program, and are also sent directly to the Moore Library. The remaining materials are brought to CMS by the CMRS staff (non-shelf ready materials ordered through them) or are brought over from the Moore Library (gifts and other materials acquired directly by them, and shelf-ready problems)
The Moore library is made up of a number of separate collections that differ by genre or format. Each collection has its own call number scheme and location code: 1. Picture books Fiction books, written for younger children, in which the illustrations take predominance over the text. Includes board books and movable ("pop-up") books. OR 2. Fiction Fiction books that do not fall into the picture book, easy reader, literature, or folklore categories. "Chapter books." Call numbers: Author Cutter + 1st few letters of title Example: J.K.
