Special collections can be utilized in many ways when doing research. Special collections can be used when trying to persuade someone, or when evidence and facts are needed. It would be needed for another course when writing a persuasive essay, writing a biography on someone’s life. It would help by including a special collection photo or article of the person and events in their life time. I’ve always been interested in Dinosaur fossils. If I were to take this course, special collections would be a vital to hands on learning. Another course would be Oral Communications; last semester seeing portraits and photographs up close would have helped and strengthen the presentation of the artist. Special collections make an important part of research process because it helps find and validate information that may not be found on the internet. Hard core, tangible evidence may be the best approach in some researches and presentations.
