The Teaching Resource Center

 Hey folks,

At some point in your time here at the Jackson Library a patron is going to ask about a specific book and you are going to run into this:

This post is going to give you a rundown on the Teaching Resource Center and hopefully save you a headache.

What is the Teaching Resource Center (TRC), where is it, and why isn't there a hyperlink to easily reserve titles?

The TRC is essentially a model K-12 school library that exists primarily to support students in the School of Education with resources for the various class projects they need to complete. It is located in room 310 of the School of Education Building, and it contains the vast majority of our YA and children's books.

Though we can find books through the online catalogue, the TRC operates its own system to reserve books. The form for this can be found here. Books can be checked out by students, staff, faculty, and K-12 educators in the Piedmont Triad. Community borrowers cannot request materials from the TRC.

K-12 educators must use a valid ID to sign up for a library account at the Jackson Library before they can checkout materials in the TRC.
