About the Libraries' Award for Undergraduate Research
The University Libraries works in partnership with the Division of Research and Graduate Studies to present the Libraries' Awards for Undergraduate Research.
- These awards recognize excellence in undergraduate research projects that incorporate the use of University Libraries' collections and demonstrate sophisticated information literacy skills on the part of the undergraduate researcher.
- The award review committee considers the product of the research, but focuses on the research process: the demonstration of library research skills, adept use of library resources, and reflection upon the strategies utilized to investigate a research problem.
- Winners receive a $1000 prize and public recognition of their excellent work.
