The Library Prize for Undergraduate Research rewards excellence in undergraduate research projects that use library resources and demonstrate sophisticated library research skills on the part of undergraduate researchers. The library offers up to six prizes annually: $750 for lower-division students and $1,000 for upper-division undergraduates.

Projects from Summer 2010, Fall 2010, and Spring 2011 are eligible. Submissions will be accepted through April 18, 2011.

As part of the new mobile campus website, the Library recently launched its own mobile website. The mobile version provides easy access to hours, library locations, chat reference, contact information for subject librarians, events, and mobile versions of the OskiCat and NextGen Melvyl catalogs.

Library users on mobile devices should be automatically redirected to the mobile version (unless you have set your smartphone to load the full version). The mobile website can also be accessed at http://mobile.lib.berkeley.edu/.
