in teaching at Yale that will take place on Friday, November 9th.  It

Workshop on the Use of Primary Sources in Teaching at Yale
On November 9th the Yale Collections Collaborative ( 
http://www.yale.edu/collections_collaborative/ ) is sponsoring a 
workshop on the use of primary sources in teaching at Yale in HGS Rm. 
119, the McDougal Center.

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: http://www.yale.edu/collections_collaborative/primarysources/.

If you plan to attend, please submit the registration form that is 
linked to from 
http://www.yale.edu/collections_collaborative/workshop.html.  If you 
are not able to attend, we would still welcome your feedback re. the 
new "Primary Sources at Yale" web site (keeping in mind that the 
temporary design of the site will be revised once the content is 
set).  Please send comments and suggestions to Martha.Smalley at yale.edu.


Thanks
Martha
