Dear Colleagues
Jordanhill Campus Library serves the University of Strathclyde's Education Faculty. In the next few years, this campus will close and the Library will be merged with the Main Library. At present, we are considering how to handle our teaching practice collections, which consist of a collection of children's books and a further collection of non-book media items - this latter arranged firstly by form (video, kit etc) then by Dewey number. We have looked at the following options:
1.
Move teaching practice resources out of the Library and into the Education Faculty building.
2.
Keep them in the Library in separate sections as at present.
3.
Keep them in the Library and merge the childrens books and the non-book media into a single integrated Teaching Practice sequence, possibly including books from the main collection on how to teach particular subjects at primary and secondary level.
We have already had useful information from UWE and Leeds - is there anyone else who has had a similar merger and could comment on how any of the above options (or indeed, something else that we haven't thought of) worked for them?
Any thoughts gratefully received.
