Kraus Curriculum Development Library Update

The 28th Edition of the Kraus Curriculum Development Library is now available online at KCDLonline.com. With 435 new documents, the KCDL database now contains over 7,500 curricula, frameworks, and standards from 1983 through 2009. In total, there are now almost 4,000 records with full-text documents.

We are excited to announce some changes to KCDLonline which we hope will improve our database. Based on replies to our recent user survey we have decided to make the following changes:

  1. The print Index to the current year’s edition has been discontinued. We are creating the yearly Shelf List, but no longer posting it online. The Shelf List for the 28th Edition is available by request. Please contact us at info@kcdlonline.com and we will forward you a PDF copy for your collection.
  2. We have reversed the order of the Search screens, so that the Advanced Search screen is above the Keyword Search.
  3. We have added a “Tips and Tutorials” tab which includes our own PowerPoint presentation, as well as user-created posters, lessons, and usage tips. (You are more than welcome to share materials you have created with us).

We will begin to add new titles for the 29th Edition this August and will continue to update KCDLonline’s links monthly.
