Summary:First developed to support courses in humanities research methods, bibliographical teaching collections are now experiencing renewed purpose as part of information literacy pedagogy. The items comprising these assembled collections provide a wealth of historical features, which make them ideal for innovative hands-on instruction.

This article describes how information professionals can efficiently develop and effectively deploy a bibliographical teaching collection to promote information literacy among a diverse array of learning populations.
