Find Books
Olin Library has a strong collection of education books, both in print and electronically (eBooks).
Every print book in the library is assigned a call number. This is a series of letters and numbers that help us know where to shelve a book. These can typically be found on the spine of a book, although sometimes they are on the cover if the spine is too thin. The call numbers will all start with one or two letters, these relate to the broad subject of the book. The numbers help us narrow down the topic. At the bottom of this page you'll find a table to help you navigate print books about international affairs. If you need help finding a book on the shelf, stop by the Circulation Desk on the 2nd (main) floor and someone will be happy to go with you.

The Enduring Legacy by
Enduring Legacy describes a multifaceted paradox-a constant struggle between those who espouse a message of hope and inclusion and others who systematically plan for exclusion. Structured inequality in the nation's schools is deeply connected to social stratification within American society. This paradox began in the eighteenth century and has proved an enduring legacy. Mark Ryan provides historical, political, and pedagogical contexts for teacher candidates-not only to comprehend the nature of racial segregation but, as future educators, to understand their own professional responsibilities, both in the community and in the school, to strive for an integrated classroom where all children have a chance to succeed. The goal of providing every child a world-class education is an ethical imperative, an inherent necessity for a functioning pluralistic democracy. The challenge is both great and growing, for teachers today will face an evermore segregated American classroom.

Young Children in Humanitarian and COVID-19 Crises by
This book investigates how organizations around the world responded to these dual challenges, identifying solutions, and learning opportunities to help to support young children in ongoing and future crises. Drawing on research and voices from the Global South, this book showcases innovations to mobilize new funds and re-allocate existing resources to protect children during the pandemic. It provides important evidence on understudied and overlooked vulnerable populations, recognizing that researchers from the Global South are best positioned to fill these research gaps, contextualize findings, and support the uptake and adoption of recommendations by local decision-makers and practitioners in those same contexts. The findings in this book will be important for practitioners, policy makers and donors working in or interested in humanitarian contexts, on early childhood development, or early childhood education. The book will also be useful to students and researchers working in these fields.
