Instructional Resource Center

The Cornette Library's Instructional Resource Center, is an excellent resource for WTAMU education majors and tutors. It houses kindergarten through 12th grade textbooks adopted by the State of Texas for its public schools. The collection also includes books for creating lesson plans and activities for the classroom. Most of these materials can be checked out at the Circulation Desk using your Buffalo Gold Card.

The IRC provides access to educational software for use with elementary age children. The CD-ROMs, which must be used on the computers in the ILL/IRC area, are on reserve at the Circulation Desk. You can search for software on reserve in the Online Catalog.

The IRC, located on the first floor of the Cornette Library, is open during all Library hours. If you need assistance, contact Laura Marshall, Director-Instructional Resource Center, at (806)651-2405 or visit her in Room 156 on the first floor of the Library. Her hours are Monday-Friday 8:00-12:00 noon and 1:00-5:00 p.m.
