Bibliographic and Other Resources
Resources that are easily accessible and readily available to support your AP curriculum are dependent on several geographical circumstances: - Are you close to a major university or college library?
- Does your public or school library have access to interlibrary loan?
- Is your school a part of a regional or state library network that allows remote access to collections in libraries all over the nation and the world?
- Do your students have access to online databases for research projects?
- Does your department or school library budget set aside funds to support AP courses through collection development?
These and many more aspects of acquisition are essential when considering how you and your students can have access to materials you need for your school's AP Human Geography course. Check suggested resources listed in Human Geography textbooks. (Contact the National Council for Geographic Education for a list of high school Geography textbooks.)
