Geared to academics, this workbook is filled with exercises that are suited to a classroom environment. For professionals who teach with original materials, this book provides easy-to-use primary source literacy exercises to improve teaching and engage students. Thirty hands-on exercises may be used in a variety of settings: elementary school, high school, undergraduate, graduate, and library school. The exercises cover topics such as building skills in using finding aids and locating primary sources, and interpretation and analysis of primary sources. Instructors can easily customize and adapt these plans for their particular needs. Also included is a bibliography of readings related to instruction in special collections, archives, and museum environments.—Allison Santos, Princeton Public Library, NJ
