How do I find Children's & Young Adult Materials?
| |
|
| |
| Atkins Library has a wealth of children's resources that will help pre-service and inservice educators development instructional units and classroom activities. The primary places to look for these resources are the Curriculum
and Instrucational Materials Collection, Children's/Young
Adult Literature Collection and Children's Magazine
Collection. |
| Primary tool for
locating materials is the library's on-line catalog which will help you find out resources are owned by the
library. For directions on searching the catalog for children's
materials see catalog
tips. |

|
| Web Resources for Children |
|
|
| The web resourcses listed here are primarily
designed to be used by children and adolescents. For resources
that contain lesson plans and teaching ideas for educators

|
| Children's Magazines |
|
|
| Children's magazines offer
a wealth of ideas and activities which can be incorporated into the
classroom. They are also a great way to get kids excited about reading
and/or a particular topic. It is much more interesting and stimulating
to read about the civil war in Cobblestones than it is in a
social studies textbook. |
| The Curriculum and Instructional Materials Center
houses about 30 children's magazines which can be integrated across
the curriculum. Additional titles are available via several NC Live
databases. |
| Print versions of the magazines can be found in the
magazine file cabinets in the CIMC using the call number indicated
in the online catalog record. Some years of some titles are available
in full text electronically from either EBSCO Host. If you are off
campus you will need to 'Sign-in'
to the Library resources before you can access these titles. |
| Many of these titles have related websites which
provide additional ideas and activities as well as information about
the title itself. |
