Selection Criteria

A committee composed of UCLA faculty members, librarians, and a previous winner will judge submissions. In the reflective essay, committee members will be looking for a clear description of how you planned and pursued your research, including how you located and chose the library resources you used and how those resources contributed to the development of your project. In the project itself, the committee will be evaluating how you used the resources you discovered to enhance the quality of your research and to learn more about your subject.
