In her , she mentions that, “The research process seemed less overwhelming and more manageable with the help of the staff at WML.”

Undergraduate Prize

The judges’ selection to receive the 2016 Library Research Prize for undergraduate students was the duo of Christina Gavalas and Marjorie Toron, seniors in the Occupational Therapy program. Their project, “”, was a literature review completed for OT 494: Evidence-Based Research on the efficacy of using weighted vests on children with autism and ADHD. This topic was inspired by one of Christina’s 2-week occupational therapy clinical rotations. This is the first time that a group project has been selected as the prize winner. In their , they noted that an information literacy session by a librarian gave them “a better understanding of how to utilize several different databases to their maximum potential.”

Honorable Mention awards in the undergraduate category included Alyssa Rodemann, a senior Psychology major, who wrote about how she found evidence to support the argument for her Honors Thesis using library resources; Emily Pocius, a junior English major, whose essay attests to the fact that the search for information is often nonlinear and iterative; and Tim Zinna, a sophomore Finance major, who discovered library databases are a very powerful and useful tool when conducting research.

Prize winners were honored at a reception on Thursday, May 12, 2016 in the Heritage Room of the Weinberg Memorial Library.
