Equally impressive was the sheer volume of faculty publications on display from a range of disciplines. Director of Libraries Cathi Cardwell individually acknowledged all faculty members who contributed their work for the event (it was a long list).

Congratulations are also in order to those students who submitted papers for the 2013 Library Research Award. The judges were sincerely impressed by the caliber of the work demonstrated in these projects. Ultimately, though, there had to be a winner. Kassel Galaty was awarded first place for her paper titled “The Infected Man Has Been Althogether Lost Sight Of”: Dr. William Budd, the Importance of Epidemiology, and the Propagation of Germ Theory. Megan Cook took second place with her paper titled Physiological and Psychosocial Effects of the Inclusiveness of Physicians’ Language on Heterosexual and Queer College Women.

Lastly, three new READ posters were unveiled during the event. Faculty members honored with posters this year were Michael Flamm, Nancy Gamso, and Danielle Hamill.

Photos from the event are available in the library’s Flickr stream.

Each year, the Libraries honor faculty, staff, and student scholarship on campus at an event called the Celebration of Scholarship. Join us on April 24th from noon to 1pm as we recognize all faculty and staff who have published a book or article, created a music score or sound recording, exhibited art work, or produced a play with an imprint date from the previous year. Also at this reception, we will announce the student winner of the $500 Libraries Research Award.

If you’re a senior, and you have a research paper you’d like to submit for the 2013 Libraries Research Award, you still have time! The deadline is April 8th at 5pm. See the award announcement for submission details.

Copies are publicly available and searchable online in the Transcript archives.

The development of the Transcript archives follows several digitization projects in which faculty, students, and librarians collaborated to create and showcase their unique scholarly contributions. The historical value of these digitized pages to student and faculty research, and to the broader Delaware, Ohio community, is illustrated in a recent article published in Connect2 OWU. Here are a few fun highlights from the collection.
