Dr. Porras Hein met Barbara Miller, Chicano Resource Center Librarian, in the Fall of1998, they began discussions about teaching students to access information about Mexican history.In addition to instruction in historical research resources, Ms. Miller began collecting genealogicalinformation resources and developed a web site for the Chicano Family course. At the same time,Dr. Porras Hein asked Ms. Miller for help with her own family research. Ms. Miller was able toconnect Professor Porras Hein with a librarian in Cuidad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, whointroduced her to a genealogist in Camargo, Chihuahua, the town from which Dr Porras Hein'sfamily originated.3.4. ASSIGNMENT IN ITS CURRENT FORMThe class assignment has evolved over the last four years. For example, students need to dohistorical research on their country or countries of origin as well as the United States during the timeperiod their families emigrated in order to explain the reasons for immigration. Using theframework provided by Griswold's study of Chicano families in the Southwest, students gatherinformation on their ancestors in terms of exogamy, endogamy, immigration, languages, religions,and child rearing. The class syllabus reflects ongoing assessment by requiring an outline, roughdraft and final copy of the paper. Students are now required to supply a research bibliography ofresources consulted. Each student also prepares an oral presentation. They are encouraged but notrequired to use communication technologies such as a PowerPoint, video, audio or somecombination of technologies to create multimedia presentations for the class.¿Quién soy? finding my place in history: personalizing information literacythrough faculty librarian collaboration
