Undergraduate Research Award

Brookens Library and the Friends of Brookens Library are excited to announce our annual Undergraduate Research Award!

We here at Brookens believe that undergraduate research, scholarly, and creative activities are foundational components of a complete liberal arts education. The Brookens Library Undergraduate Research Award was created by Brookens Library to recognize and reward UIS undergraduate students whose academic work incorporates the use of Brookens Library’s collections and services and demonstrates exceptional information literacy skills.

Research Workshops

Register for one of our library workshops to help you build up your research skills and get to know the library a bit better.

Whether you need help getting started with your research or want to upgrade your search skills to the next level, we have a little something for everyone! Workshops are offered multiple times throughout the semester and include topics such as finding articles in databases, managing citations in Zotero, spotting fake news, and more!
