Information Literacy Award

Information literacy awards will be presented to the top presenters demonstrating an excellence in information literacy through either:

• Bibliography or literature review contributing to research in any field including the sciences, engineering, social sciences, humanities, and arts
• Use of manuscript, archival, or other primary resources to conduct original research

Judging is based on:

• Information research process and strategies
• Social, ethical, or economic considerations in accessing information
• Relationship of the background information gathered to the project direction
• Credit and proper citation for any quotes, tables, graphs, photographs, and other content used in the poster that are not the student's own work
• Information on critical sources used, as space allows in the poster

If you are interested in being considered for this award, please mark the appropriate box on your registration form.

Prizes awarded will be $150 for first place, $100 for second place, and up to five $50 honorable mentions. 

Posters
