Cowles Library to offer J-Term course on archives

Still need to fulfill the Information Literacy AOI? Want to learn more about archives? Political Papers Archivist Hope Grebner is offering an Information Literacy AOI course this J-Term, and there are still spots available! Secrets of the Vault: An Introduction to Archival Methods and Services (LIB 052), will serve as an experiential introduction to the responsibilities of archivists by providing an overview of the principles upon which archival theory is based. Through practical and hands-on assignments involving the collections in the Drake University Archives and Special Collections, readings, and discussions, the course will establish a basic understanding of the archival profession.
