How can Special Collections support my teaching?
- Instruction sessions in historical topics strongly represented in our collections
- Primary source literacy tools: examples of numerous documentary genres, 1600s-present
- Digital humanities project source material: digitized images, corpora of transcriptions, historical datasets, library metadata
- Applied learning opportunities for students in projects such as document transcription, research, and creating physical or digital exhibits
Breaking New Ground
Let's Brainstorm!
What library services have you used in the past? What did you learn from those experiences?
What is one new activity you'd like to try in collaboration with the libraries?
Do you know which library staff member(s) you'd like to work with?
What is the next step you'll take after this meeting to work with the libraries?
