Teaching Resources

In addition to teaching class sessions, Special Collections staff have prepared a number of resources that you can incorporate into your classes. We have curated subject-specific teaching guides with resources from around the web and from our own teaching, available for your use on LibGuides. We have also developed videos on a range of topics, from features of specific items in the collections to using the library catalog to find Special Collections materials. Additional resources related to rare books and our manuscript collections are also available.
