at Yale<br>
</font>On November 9th the Yale Collections Collaborative (
<a href="http://www.yale.edu/collections_collaborative/" eudora="autourl">
http://www.yale.edu/collections_collaborative/</a> ) is sponsoring a
workshop on the use of primary sources in teaching at Yale in HGS Rm.
119, the McDougal Center.<br><br>
There will be refreshments available beginning at 2:00 p.m., with
opportunity to talk with Yale librarians/archivist/curators who are
attending the workshop. A faculty panel (Janice Carlisle, John Mack
Faragher, and Seth Fein) will begin at 2:30 p.m., with follow-up
discussion facilitated by Bill Rando of the Graduate Teaching
Center. We have asked the faculty panel to talk about how they have
used primary sources in their courses, what methods have worked or not
worked, what types of tools, activities, or interactions would facilitate
the use of primary sources. This will also be an opportunity for
faculty and graduate students to provide feedback about the new
"Primary Sources at Yale" web site that is being developed:
