AlI instructors and education researchers most likely have an assortment of reference books on their shelves, rarely gathering too much dust before they're shaken off and browsed once again.

It's fun and frequently enlightening to take a quick glance at the bookcases of your colleagues to see what they read -- and most interestingly -- have in common with your own collection. 

Here's a brief sampling of my own education library: books, journal articles, and such frequently cited in my research, writing, and lectures. Feel free to compare and share your own favorites.
