An ideal resource for cultural heritage professionals who teach
with original materials, this book provides fresh, adaptable, and
easy-to-implement primary source literacy exercises to improve
their teaching and engage their students. Special collections
librarians and archivists in academic settings are often confronted
with the challenge of teaching classes outside their personal area
of expertise, with very little notice or guidance-as the authors of
this book can attest. Using Primary Sources: Hands-On Instructional
Exercises features 30 adaptable, hands-on exercises that special
collections librarians, archivists, museum professionals, and
teaching faculty can use in a multitude of instructional situations
with K-12, undergraduate, graduate, and library school students.
The exercises teach lessons in both archival intelligence-such as
building skills in using finding aids and locating primary
sources-and artifactual literacy, such as building skills in
interpretation and analysis of primary sources. Each exercise
includes sections for audience, subject area, and materials used so
that instructors can find customizable, easy-to-follow "recipes" to
use regardless of personal experience and expertise. In addition,
this consultable reference resource includes a bibliography of
readings related to instruction in special collections, archives,
and museum environments. Presents adaptable, time-saving, and
practical exercises for different audiences, disciplines, and types
of collection materials Advances pedagogical practice in special
collections and archives beyond "show-and-tell" to mirror the
current methods of practitioners in information literacy, which
will serve efforts toward primary source literacy and assessment
Provides straightforward, time-saving exercises that provide enough
detail to offer specific guidance to instructors but allow for
flexibility and adaptability
