Here we’ve collected a list of other repositories of teaching tools.
Featured! Teaching with Primary Sources Portal
The University of Arizona Libraries (UAL) Teaching with Primary Sources Portal is a resource for instructors and librarians to identify lessons, ideas, sources, and tools to use in their courses. The initial set of lesson plans were co-developed by UA disciplinary faculty and UA librarians as part of a Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources Program grant, primarily using digital sources from the Library of Congress. Additional lessons and source sets are being added.
