Abstract
By broadening the definition of information literacy to include classroom activities, the Association of College and Research Libraries' (ACRLs) Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education challenge academic librarians to reach beyond the library to teach critical thinking. This article explains how the American Social History Project's New Media Classroom initiative fosters active utilization of primary sources on the Web. After placing NMC's inquiry activities within educational, school librarian, and academic librarian debates, their use within women's studies classes at Salem State College is demonstrated. It is argued that such activities help academic librarians to achieve parity with discipline faculty members by encouraging librarians to become integrally involved in classroom activities.
