What does it mean when the call numbers begin with MSERC or TCS?
There are two satellite collections to the ERC. Items that begin with TCS belong to The College School and ARE NOT available for general circulation. These items are mostly children’s trade books. There is some overlap in the ERC and TCS holdings in this area. One should look at the record carefully and make sure there is an ERC copy available otherwise the item is not generally available. The MSERC designation is for items located in the Math Science Education Resource Center. Those items are available to the general population under a separate circulation policy. Please check the MSERC website for hours of operation since they differ from those of the ERC.
