The Illinois Learning Web

The Illinois Cooperative Collection Management Coordinating Committee (CCMC) sponsor a Curriculum Materials Center (CMC) WorldWide Web Homepage for the state of Illinois. The CCMC goal of sharing resources has had limited application for curriculum libraries or curriculum materials centers because of considerable need of these materials locally. High demand has made inter-institutional circulation impractical or restricted. One suggestion to remedy this situation has been to institute regional centers for curriculum materials. The proposal for a CMC Web Homepage furthers the ideal of access by making selected curriculum information available electronically.

This WWW site is made possible by funding from the Illinois Cooperative Collection Management Coordinating Committee (CCMCC) and the University of Illinois at Chicago, University Library.
