News and Highlights

The Allan Price Science Commons and Research Library (PSC) hosted the inaugural lightning-round presentations of “Works in Progress” during the symposium. Undergraduate students from the UO, Lane Community College, and Southern Oregon University came together in PSC’s VizLab to share their research projects in seven-minute summaries.

Librarians at the UO are dedicated to providing research support to students, faculty members, and other researchers. From collaborating with faculty members and campus museums to teach undergrads about special collections to creating research guides and video tutorials to support instruction, UO librarians contribute to research in exciting, though sometimes less visible ways. Here, we spotlight several research-based endeavors our librarians have been supporting.

Preparing students for careers after graduation isn't training they get just in classrooms. They get it in on-the-job training as well. More than 160 students work in UO Libraries receiving real-world, hands-on job experience while helping us meet our mission. Meet just a few of these stellar students in this term's Student Spotlight story.
