The Library has established an Undergraduate Research in Writing Award to celebrate excellence in library research. This annual prize will recognize up to two students who have most successfully applied information literacy skills in a paper or project. Information literacy has been defined as the ability to identify an information need, find sources that address it, evaluate and incorporate those sources, and use information ethically, according to the Association of College and Research Libraries. The award consists of a $500 scholarship prize for first place and $250 for second place. (Prizes will be applied directly to tuition.)
Winners will be selected among faculty- or student-nominated student projects submitted from Oakland University’s General Education Writing Intensive and Writing Intensive in the Major courses. The winning projects will be selected by a panel of university faculty members by the end of the Winter semester every academic year, and will be deposited in the university’s repository, OUR@Oakland, and made available online. For more information about the award, please visit the Libraries’ website or contact Dr. Dominique Daniel, Humanities Librarian for History and Modern Languages at Daniel@oakland.edu.
