We are happy to announce this year's winners of the Library Prize for Undergraduate Research . The Library Prize attracts the very best undergraduate papers from courses taught in departments across the campus. It recognizes excellence in undergraduate research projects that show evidence of significant inquiry using the library, its resources, and collections, as well as demonstrating learning about the research and information-gathering process itself.
