Looking for a real National Treasure? Check out the Library of Congress website. Here you'll have access to webcasts, images, music, teaching resources, newspapers, legislative information and website archiving (i.e. you can view what websites looked like on a specific date - like September 11th, 2001).
Subjects cover the gamut from American history to science and music. Familiarizing yourself with the website will feel like a day spent visiting museums. Use photos, primary sources, videos, podcasts and webcasts to bring excitement to your classroom or identify some resources for students to investigate on their own. Have a question? Try the "Ask a Librarian" feature. Cultural literacy is a click away!

Mid-20th Century Cigarette Advertisements
The Rotunda display has been taken down but the primary source materials are still available. Reproductions of the actual ads can be borrowed by contacting Jocelyn Sirkis, Director of Professional Development. (Should you wish additional support, Jocelyn can also deliver a presentation to your class.)
A larger collection of ads is also available for viewing on -line by visiting http://lane.stanford.edu/tobacco/index.html
This collection lends itself well to classes in a variety of areas including Sociology, Ethics, Art, English, Marketing, Allied Health, Philosophy, History, etc.
Here are some sample essay questions developed by CCP faculty:

This collection lends itself well to classes in a variety of areas including Sociology, Ethics, Art, English, Marketing, Allied Health, Philosophy, History, etc.
Here are some sample essay questions developed by CCP faculty:
1. (for Soc. 101/ESL classes) Which advertisement shocked you the most and why?
2. Ads often persuade through association with attractive people or symbols. Discuss the effect of associating cigarettes with babies, Santa Clause, the American flag, sexy movie stars and the like.
3. Endorsement is a form of association and argument by authority. According to ads for Camels and Luck Strike, thousands of doctors approve of them. How is this type of endorsement similar to, or different from, endorsement by specific singers, movie stars, and other celebrities?
4. Scan the list of "dead celebrities" who had appeared in cigarette ads. What conclusions can you draw?
