SAVE THE DATE – October 26, 2018 for Primary resources in teaching and learning

MSU Libraries Green Room, East Lansing Michigan from 8:30 am – 3:00 pm

Jointly hosted and presented by the Michigan Archival Association (MAA) and the Michigan Academic Library Association (MiALA)

Thinking about developing outreach programs to students on your campus? Not sure where to start? Looking for new ways to integrate primary sources into your instruction sessions? This workshop focuses on integrating and using primary sources in classroom assignments, information literacy sessions, archival tours, learning labs, and more!

Archivists, special collections librarians, and teaching faculty from three Michigan institutions will speak on their experiences and provide hands-on demonstrations to give you the skills you need to do this at home. Some topics covered will include:

• Archives and Primary Resource Education Lab @ the Reuther Library - including teaching graduate students to bring primary sources into the K-12 classroom
• Creating interesting, informative, and interactive lesson plans with limited time and budgets
• Collaborating archivists, librarians, and faculty to create relevant and innovative assignments using primary sources from the archives
• Presenting a hands-on session covering the first three learning objectives in Guidelines for Primary Source Literacy

Registration is at a very reduced cost for MiALA and MAA members!  For those unaffiliated with either organization, we encourage you to join one of our organizations and attend this conference.
