Summary:

Online primary source collections can empower librarians to deeply support disciplinary and interdisciplinary instruction not just in the humanities, but across the social sciences and the sciences. Following up on the introductory webinar “Primary Sources Beyond History,” this intermediate-level webinar will showcase a specific framework and examples for teaching quantitative and qualitative approaches to research. Attendees can expect to learn:

  • Discipline-portable encoding exercises.
  • How to foster learning through student annotation.
  • Implementing digital scholarship tools for even novice students (and faculty!).
  • When and how to consider scaling up to more complex digital methods.
