Engaging Undergraduates in Primary Source Research: Innovations in Information Literacy

Autor Lijuan Xu
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 sep 2021

Recomandăm volumul Engaging Undergraduates in Primary Source Research ca pe o resursă metodologică esențială pentru mediul universitar, ce extinde dialogul despre cercetarea surselor primare dincolo de granițele tradiționale ale arhivelor și colecțiilor speciale. Merită menționat că această lucrare, publicată în seria Innovations in Information Literacy la Rowman & Littlefield, propune o schimbare de paradigmă: sursele primare nu sunt doar obiecte de patrimoniu, ci instrumente pedagogice active pentru dezvoltarea gândirii critice a studenților.

Structura volumului este organizată în jurul a zece studii de caz care demonstrează versatilitatea acestui demers. Remarcăm progresia de la utilizarea materialelor vizuale și narative, precum revistele „zines” în capitolul despre storytelling, până la utilizarea hărților istorice și a iconografiei funerare tratate ca date brute. Această abordare practică oferă strategii concrete pentru integrarea materialelor fizice și digitale în curriculumul de licență, punând accent pe colaborarea strânsă între profesori și bibliotecarii de referință.

Cititorii familiarizați cu Teaching Undergraduates with Archives de Nancy Bartlett vor aprecia modul în care Lijuan Xu lărgește sfera de aplicare a acestor metode. În timp ce volumul lui Bartlett se concentrează pe spațiul arhivistic, lucrarea de față aduce în prim-plan materiale non-arhivistice și resurse în limbi străine, demonstrând că alfabetizarea informațională poate fi predată eficient în orice disciplină. De asemenea, spre deosebire de Using Primary Sources de Anne Bahde, care oferă exerciții adaptabile pentru profesioniștii din patrimoniu, volumul de față se concentrează pe procesul colaborativ de durată și pe transferabilitatea abilităților de cercetare în viața de cetățean informat.

Descriere

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.

Recenzii

Balancing attention to theoretical frameworks, creative pedagogy, and practical approaches to assessment of student learning, Xu and her authors demonstrate how primary sources from the documentary to the digital can enhance and extend innovation in undergraduate education in areas such as critical thinking, digital scholarship, makerspaces, and more.
Lijuan Xu has pulled together a diverse group of faculty and librarians, to write a much-needed text related to the strategic link between archives, information literacy, and transformative stories of student learning.
Engaging undergrads with primary sources requires collaborative work between faculty and libraries on a diverse array of topics and across a variety of disciplines. Through a series of engaging case studies, this book provides an important new resource for those across the university who are committed to enriching their teaching through primary sources.
This volume has important implications for all those interested in teaching undergraduates about the value of using primary sources of many kinds in their own research and is sure to make a lasting contribution to the fields of library and archival pedagogy.
Engaging Undergraduates with Primary Source Research is an excellent addition to the existing literature on teaching with primary sources. This resource may be particularly beneficial to archivists at academic institutions who are wanting to collaborate with liaison librarian colleagues. Instead of viewing information literacy and primary source literacy as two distinct practices, this book thoughtfully illustrates how they can be woven together.

Descriere scurtă
