Abstract/Description
The past isn't past in the Marian Library: from class visits to curating digital exhibits, the Marian Library’s collaborations with teaching faculty and students have produced new, only-at-UD learning experiences. Eighty years of collecting with the motto “Never enough about Mary” mean that the Marian Library has deep and unexpected resonances far beyond Catholic theology, from first-year English students to teacher education majors.
In this session, three Marian Library faculty members representing different areas of the Marian collections – archives, art, and rare books/published collections – will share a brief presentation on recent experiential learning projects in the Marian Library, and lead brainstorming with attendees across disciplines to connect attendees’ goals for experiential learning and Marianist education to library collections. Instructors from within and outside traditional areas of partnership are encouraged to attend and find new perspectives on the Marian Library’s collections.
