Hi Victoria,

Congratulations on your new position! Most of what I've learned about library instruction in History, especially for primary sources, has been from fellow librarians and their excellent libguides and websites. Most are very willing to let you use and repurpose their content. Just check with them first. Below are a few sites that I've found particularly useful.
If you have other more specific questions or if you'd like to set up a time to chat, I'd be happy to do so. Feel free to contact me directly.

Best,
Rebecca

Subject: Recommended Instruction Resources for a New Librarian

Hi all,

I am a brand new librarian who will be working with the History Department at my institution to teach information literacy instruction sessions. As someone without a background studying history, I was wondering if anyone has recommended materials, literature, or other resources for someone looking to learn more about best practices within historical research. Specifically, I am interested in hearing about information literacy skills that may be unique to historical research (finding and evaluating primary sources, for example) and how you teach these skills to students. I will be working with a mix of undergraduate courses ranging from introductory to capstone courses.

Thank you in advance, and please let me know if I can provide any clarification.
