The librarian will be part of a three-member panel composed of a historian and others involved in the teaching of history, who will address instructional issues related to the use of primary sources in electronic formats. Each panel member will present a 15-20 minute paper on some aspect of the program topic.
Requirements: All applicants should submit a 100-200 word abstract of the proposed presentation. Also, please include a vita, outlining your previous professional experiences, publications, and presentations.
