Why use Special Collections in yourteaching and research?
“Undergraduates need to become an active part of the audience for research. In a setting in which inquiry is prized, every course in an undergraduate curriculum should provide an opportunity for a student to succeed through discovery-based methods. … In the humanities, undergraduates should have the opportunity to work in primary materials, perhaps linked to their professors’ research projects.”
The Boyer Commission on Educating Undergraduates in the Research University. 2008. Reinventing Undergraduate Education: A Blueprint for America’s Research Universities, 17.
