The Undergraduate Library Research Awards recognize creative and original library research completed by William & Mary undergraduate students. Four students, whose papers best illustrate exemplary use of W&M Libraries tools and resources, and the development of information-gathering skills, are selected within two categories (freshman/sophomore and junior/senior) during each award cycle.
More information about the award can be found at: https://libraries.wm.edu/research-award
