On Monday, April 28, students, library staff, and members gathered together in celebration of the inaugural Friends of the Libraries Student Library Award winners.

The awards were established to promote the use of library services and information resources in undergraduate projects. They were presented to undergraduate students who best demonstrated their use of library services and resources in the creation of a research project, lab report, critically appraised topic, creative work or other coursework and who demonstrated an excellent understanding of the connection between their research and these library services and resources.

The awards were presented to four undergraduate students, two from Humanities, Social Sciences, Music, Law, and Management disciplines and two from the Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, and Engineering, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
