In an age when both professional historians and students of history can conduct much of their research remotely via the Internet and an abundance of historical resources are available digitally, it is imperative to develop skills to critically engage with, evaluate, and synthesize these resources. This class teaches critical information literacy by providing instruction in searching and discovering information, evaluating material critically, and collecting and curating information. This course will develop your ability to gain the transferable skill of moving from information to knowledge.
