History Information Literacy

Welcome to the History Information Literacy Research Guide provided by TCC Libraries.

In this guide, you will find pages for information literacy topics that will help you think like a historian and engage in historical inquiry:

Primary Sources - In this section, you will learn about primary sources as you consider: 

• When, why, how, and for what purpose was the information created? 

Research Questions - This section explores the connection between research and inquiry as you consider:

• What is the value of curiosity in research and in our everyday lives? 

 Brainstorming Keywords - In this section, you will learn strategies for brainstorming keywords as you consider:

• How does the language I use affect my ability to access relevant information? 
• Why does the language that I use matter? 

Each page includes an overview of the topic, information to help you learn a new strategy or skills, a quiz to check your understanding, and an invitation to try out what you learned as a researcher.
