Undergraduate research initiatives are cropping up everywhere you look. The question is: how can you show them what the IR can do to help?
We’ve taken some of the best and most creative examples of undergraduate research in Digital Commons repositories and created a leave-behind that we hope will help. The handout, “Digital Commons: A Showcase for Undergraduate Work,” highlights undergraduate collections from a wide range of institutions, from small liberal arts schools to large research-oriented universities. Show your undergraduate research partners how Digital Commons can support their mission with honors theses and capstone projects, student research journals and conferences, and a myriad of ways to showcase the special programs and opportunities that are unique to your campus.
Share the link with your office of undergraduate research, honors program, or anyone else invested in undergraduate work on your campus—or better still, print up some copies and drop them off in person. If you’d like our fancy dancy printed copies to leave behind, drop us a line and we can send a stack your way!
