Kraus Curriculum Development Library (KCDL)

The Kraus Curriculum Development Library (KCDL) is now available online. This searchable database of curricula, frameworks, and standards brings together educational objectives, content, instructional strategies, and evaluative techniques for all subjects covered in Pre-K-12 and Adult Basic Education. The database includes information from editions 1983-2002 (the 21st). Typical entries include the name of the issuing agency, the year, grades covered, subjects, and a URL for the agency and for the document if they are available online. The database can be found at http://www.kcdlonline.com or through the alphabetical list of electronic resources on the Library's homepage at http://www.uic.edu/depts/lib/resources/ .

You may search by keyword or, using advanced search options, conduct searches on specific fields such as grade level, issuing agency, subject, or state. The KCDL database works most effectively if you use the Internet Explorer browser, 4.0 or above.

KCDL online will be especially useful for students and faculty in education-related fields, but others who are working with schools in some capacity may also find it helpful.

Full-text records are available since 2000, and the Library has the microfiche for documents from 1976 to 2000.
