Studying Context in Archives

I will be interviewing people who work at uncommon, special types of archives, wanting to understand how they define and interact with "context," as a term and concept, on a daily basis. Their unique collections interest different types of users and visitors, and so the archivists may need to approach those conversations and descriptions differently too. I am interested to see how broad or specific they approach "context."

Primary Source Teaching With Library Resources in K-12 Classrooms

K-12 teachers are facing an extraordinarily challenging time as our schools recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. To lend support to teachers in this difficult professional environment, this study aims to discover how archives and special collections can make online materials maximally accessible and useful for K-12 teachers. Using semi-structured interviews with ten K-12 teachers and website usage data from the "On the Books" library guide, this study will gather data about how teachers find, interact with, and teach with the online resources for primary source instruction developed by Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The findings will be considered to make recommendations for some ways that special collections librarians can better serve this group of patrons with online teaching resources.
