The aim of this CIE is to share the experience of a collaboration between a faculty and a librarian. The joint project started in the Fall ’23 and is based on two AUBG courses – Falsifications in History (HTY 301) and Constructions and Instrumentalization of the Past (HTY 304). During the first stage of the project, the professor taught the historic share of the course, while the librarian was involved with the design and delivery of three information literacy sessions. The aim of these sessions was to advance and expand students’ research skills within an intellectually integrity stimulated environment. The librarian had the chance to deliver the three sessions independently in alignment with the history content taught by the professor. As pillars of development, the librarian relied heavily on the three ACRL IL Framework frames Research as Inquiry, Scholarship as Conversation, and Searching as Strategic Exploration. During the second stage, the librarian’s main focus turns to the students’ digital literacy development. For the second course, which will be delivered in the Spring ’23 semester, the students will continue working on improving their research skills, but the aim of the second part of the project is for the students to produce YouTube videos in which they can present their research findings in a digital format. The final goal is to generate a YouTube channel in which such research findings on history topics can be collected and shared.
