Summary:
Critical Information Literacy is a theory of learning that endeavors to
impact social change. Instructors can use the experiences and voices found
in the papers and records (primary sources) collected by archives and
special collections for classroom consciousness-raising activities that
also teach information literacy skills.

This presentation will discuss Critical Information Literacy as part of
primary source literacy instruction in archives. The presentation will also
include an exercise using primary sources documenting the history of Black
student protests at Northern Michigan University in the late 1960s. The
historical documents come from the Central Upper Peninsula and Northern
Michigan University Archives.

This presentation is a part of the NMU’s Diversity Common Reader Program
and will be presented online via Zoom.
