SUBJECT AREA: L - EDUCATION
Purpose: The last Bachelor of Education degrees were conferred in May 1997. The Education programme has not existed at the University since that time. Students in Music Education make some use of this collection although most of the methods course material falls in "M" (and are located in the Music Library). Several courses in Canadian Studies, Psychology, and Sociology use education materials. Material on higher education is used by the faculty and administration.
Existing Collection Strength: L - Representative (2), LA, LB, LC - Selective (3) and LD-LT - Basic (1). The entire L's are currently going through the Collection Review process and this section should be revised when the Review is complete.
Current Collecting Intensity:
L (Education General) - Basic (1)
LA (History of Education) - Basic (1)
LB (Theory and Practice of Education) - Basic (1) except for Higher Education
which is Representative (2)
LC (Special Aspects of Education) - Basic (1) except material for courses
in Canadian Studies, Music, Psychology and Sociology which are Selective
(3). Much of the relevant material for these disciplines is classified with
material on that subject.
LD-LT (Institutions, Colleges, Fraternities) - Basic (1)
