The Kraus Curriculum Development Library collects lesson plans, district courses of study, and state frameworks from all around the country. The Library owns nearly 20 years of these collections on microfiche, which are located next to the Audiovisual & Curriculum Materials Center Service Desk.

The current Kraus collections are available online in the library's list of 'Databases by Title,' under Kraus Curriculum Development Library. These resources provide excellent examples of existing lesson plans for K-12 subjects.
