Education (Lesson Planning Resources): Puppets and Puppetry
How may I access materials from the Teacher Education Resource Center (TERC) Collection during the Milne Library closure?
- The TERC collection will be available in Fraser Hall Library.
- While we do not have access to all our collections (including the TERC) yet, there are approximately 2,000 titles available for checkout.
- To narrow your search results to what is physically available, perform an Advanced Search in GLOCAT and limit your results to "Available Physical Materials." The results will be updated as more books and materials become available during the spring semester.
It is important to note:
- Web-based lesson planning resources are located on the Education Guide.
- Students and faculty will need to arrange their own transportation to the libraries listed below.
- If students or faculty borrow materials from these libraries, they must return materials to the library of origin. Milne Library does not return materials that are not received through IDS services.
Milne Library Puppet Collection
Milne Library has a large collection of puppets as well as several puppet theaters.
