Description
This session will provide a report on the current work of the RBMS/SAA Joint Task Force on Primary Source Literacy Guidelines. The 12-member group was charged by both professional organizations with the task of developing guidelines for primary source literacy competencies for undergraduate and graduate students, and official work began in September 2015. Since then it has been working diligently on reviewing the literature on primary source literacy, examining potential points of convergence with the ACRL Framework on Information Literacy, identifying external stakeholders and other relevant guidelines documents, and drafting communications plans. The group has also begun to work with definitions of terms and determining the scope of the final document. In addition to reporting on these activities in the session, a task force member will solicit feedback from the teaching community of librarians and archivists grappling with these issues in practice, and to update the community on the task force's timeline, next steps, and future directions.
