Despite the plethora of primary sources that libraries have made
available to their communities, the published literature thus far
is largely limited to the pedagogical significance of special
collections and archives. To leverage the wealth of primary sources
and to explore the full potential of primary sources in the
undergraduate classroom, it is imperative that the conversation
include faculty members as well as librarians outside special
collections and archives. The ten case studies included in Engaging
Undergraduates in Primary Source Research represent the exciting
work of faculty members and their librarian partners from various
areas of library operations. They offer examples, strategies, and
innovative ways to incorporate a wide range of primary materials
into undergraduates' diet of secondary source research, including
both local archival and non-archival materials, as well as digital
and physical materials and non-English language materials.
Co-authored by faculty and their librarian partners, these case
studies focus on how students develop and practice skills related
to finding and identifying primary information, analyzing and
interrogating it, confronting interpretations, and constructing and
presenting arguments using primary sources. The emphasis on
transferrable skills, as well as the diversity of primary sources
and teaching areas they represent, makes it easy for anyone
interested to find examples from which they can draw guidance and
inspiration to form partnerships and to (re)invigorate students'
learning experiences involving primary sources. Furthermore, the
collaborative process and the methods to engage students in primary
source research that are highlighted in these stories are not
unique to primary sources. They can be easily applied in other
collaborative teaching efforts involving different types of
information, to create skilled student researchers, adept
information producers, and informed citizens.
