Moody Library has a collection of Texas state adopted textbooks called the Curriculum Collection. It is located on the 2nd floor in the far corner behind the Bound Periodicals. The collection does not include all of the state adopted textbooks, only a sample of textbooks in the areas of study in which the School of Education certifies teachers. Books in this collection are identified by the location symbol Curr. before the call number. A complete listing of all current Texas textbooks is in the Instructional Materials Bulletin.
