Jerome Bruner Library
on Advancing University Learning
Through its library of articles, books and videotapes, the Center
provides the faculty with easy access to the rich and growing literature
on human learning. In October 2005, the library was named after Jerome Bruner
in appreciation of his contributions to teaching and learning literature, both at NYU and nationwide.
Resources include both the research literature
on teaching and learning and the reflective writings of scholars who teach.
Some of the videotapes are commercially produced documentaries on teaching,
but most of them come out of the Center's work, including tapes of past faculty development workshops and Diversity Series panels. Patrons
may check out materials or acquire bibliographies on certain topics. Most of these resources are now catalogued through a Refworks site available online. Click here for instructions on how to access this database.
The Center has produced prepared
bibliographies for NYU faculty and teaching assistants. Previously prepared bibliographies include:
We also offer a general bibliography
on teaching and learning, which contains some of the most important introductions to, and basic works on, learning theory and
teaching practice. Customized bibliographies can also be produced using the RefWorks catalogue. Interested
faculty members and grad students can browse the resources on their own (please contact CTE for an appointment or to reserve items found on RefWorks for checkout) or obtain the assistance of CTE staff.
