Special Collections in the Classroom

This 2017 piece written by John Jackson features special collections instruction and a conversation with Instruction Librarian Rachel Wen-Paloutzian in the William H. Hannon Library's Department of Archives and Special Collections at Loyola Marymount University. “We engage students in active learning with a wide variety of rare materials that spark their curiosity, foster attentiveness, develop critical thinking, and immerse them in experiences with the power to transform. Through our instruction workshops, we connect the world of ideas with material cultures, and we connect our students with the limitless possibilities of original research.” — Rachel Wen-Paloutzian
