Accepting submissions for the 2021 Library Research Award

The Hesburgh Libraries invites submissions from undergraduate students for the 2021 University of Notre Dame Library Research Award.

This annual competition awards prizes in several categories to undergraduate students who demonstrate excellence in library research skills by using a breadth of library resources for their research projects, course assignments, and creative endeavors.

Students from every discipline are invited to submit a brief essay describing the many ways in which they used library resources for a project or assignment completed during summer 2020, fall 2020, Winter Session 2020-21, or spring 2021. Library resources include but are not limited to the following categories: Online Catalogs and Search Tools, Digital and Print Resources, Library Collections, People, Spaces, Specialized Technologies, and Programs and Services.

All winners receive a cash prize, are featured on news.nd.edu and other University websites, and are featured online in our Library Research Award Winners Circle.
