Registration is open for the ACRL Instruction Section Teaching Methods Committee’s Spring 2025 virtual event, “From Meta-Analyses to Manuscripts: Teaching Primary Source Research in Scientific and Humanistic Inquiry”. It will take place on Tuesday, April 29, at 12:00 PM CDT.
Join College of the Holy Cross’s Jennifer Whelan, Coordinator of Research and Information Literacy, and Laura Wilson, Science Librarian, as they explore cross-disciplinary approaches and strategies for teaching primary source research to students, developed through their years of practice and interdisciplinary collaboration. Whelan and Wilson will address topics including disciplinary understandings of what constitutes a primary source; search strategies for locating primary sources in both the sciences and humanities; the role of underrepresented voices in primary source conversations; how to instruct students in primary source literacy; and, overall, taking the anxiety out of the primary research process. Participants will be asked to share their own strategies, experiences, resources and tools, with opportunities to learn from each other. Everyone will leave the session feeling empowered to work with students in undertaking primary source research across the disciplines.
Time for Q&A will follow the presentation.
