Tunxis Library Student Research Award  

The purpose of the Tunxis Library Student Research Award is to recognize and honor excellence in the use of the Library’s resources and services by a Tunxis student.  The award winning student will demonstrate his or her skill in information gathering, critical thinking, and synthesis through a research paper or project for a Tunxis course completed in the current academic year.

Tunxis faculty members will be asked to submit student work to the Tunxis Library Student Research Award Advisory Committee, which will be made up of faculty and librarians. Submissions must be made by April, 19, 2013. Papers or projects must include a list of sources cited in a standard bibliographic format (e.g. MLA, APA, Chicago Style, etc.). The Advisory Committee will judge the research projects on how well the student has applied:

1. Sophistication as well as depth in the discovery and use of research.

2. Distinguished writing and/or clarity in presentation.

3. Accurate inclusion and citing of resources.

The Advisory Committee is made up of  Faculty and Librarians.
