The Bookfellow Prize is a monetary award given each year to the Knox student who has completed the course assignment or other research project (including senior research, honors research, and independent study) showing the most sophisticated and productive application of the library's collections and resources to his or her research topic or creative project. In awarding the prize, we look for projects showing evidence of
- a successful research strategy that has identified a variety of relevant primary and secondary sources in multiple publishing formats;
- the application of library resources to a clearly stated and successfully argued thesis or hypothesis, or to a successfully realized creative project;
- consistent and thorough citation and documentation of library resources applied to the project.
