    Explore how you might use Tisch Library’s rich collection of online primary sources in your teaching and research.   Hear from Tufts faculty members Danny Abramson (Art History) and Ben Carp (History), who currently teach with primary sources, during a two-hour interactive workshop tailored to the interests of attendees.  Chao Chen, humanities reference librarian, will follow by demonstrating pedagogical uses of particular online collections. Depending upon the participants, the discussion may cover early printed books from America, Great Britain, and France; early American newspapers; economic literature on world development 1450-1850; letters and diaries; French and Spanish missionary texts from North America; and many others.
