Reminder that the March 30 deadline for submissions is just around the corner:
Calling all Special Collections Librarians, Archivists and Museum
Professionals Who Teach!
We seek submissions of innovative, hands-on classroom exercises
utilizing primary sources for an upcoming Libraries Unlimited
publication. The forthcoming book will provide cultural heritage
professionals with adaptable, template-based class exercises - think
of these as recipes that can be reused as is, or customized for
multiple situations. We solicit your easy-to-adapt, creative exercises
that includes a title, 2-5 learning objectives, intended audience,
collections/materials/preparation required, description of the
exercise mechanics or activity, and any assessment you’ve done. We
seek your submission by MARCH 30, 2013.
The exercises we want to include will teach lessons in "artifactual
literacy" and/or "archival intelligence." Artifactual literacy refers
to skills needed to interpret and analyze primary sources, including
concepts such as: evaluating authenticity, understanding historical
contextualization, identifying bias, understanding the physical
object, and deducing original audience and purpose. Archival
intelligence refers to skills needed to use archives and special
collections, such as: finding aid usage, understanding what kinds of
materials are held in archives and special collections, physical use
and handling of collections, and searching for primary sources.
Exercises making use of any source types are welcome, including rare
books, maps, manuscripts, ephemera, born digital, and even the unusual
types we know you are working with (video games, natural history
specimens, models, blueprints, comic books, graphic novels, LPs,
floppy disks and hard drives). The exercises may focus on teaching
undergraduates or graduate students, or may be geared toward public
outreach events, educating donors, our peers, and/or administrators.
We want your creative and inventive exercises for K-12 class visits as
well.
Co-editors Anne Bahde (Oregon State University), Heather Smedberg (UC
San Diego), and Mattie Taormina (Stanford University) look forward to
receiving your submissions. Please submit your exercise via our web
form by MARCH 30, 2013:
