Supporting undergraduate teaching with primary sources

Last year, the Digital Scholarship team joined a consortium of 26 university libraries to carry out a UX project with Ithaka S+R, a New York not-for-profit research and consulting organisation. The project was to undertake in-depth qualitative analysis to examine humanities and social sciences instructors’ practices in teaching undergraduates with primary sources in order to understand the resources and services that instructors need. At the institutional level we sought to also understand how to promote and raise the profile of our Special Collections and Archives material to our academic community.
