Description
Here, I will explore how the library's collaboration with the Director of Undergraduate Research, specifically leveraging our IR, contributed to the creation of a new, daylong event celebrating undergraduate research. In 2022, we restructured the entire process of collecting and showcasing student work created for the annual Belmont Undergraduate Research Symposium (BURS) within the IR. This restructuring made our collection more exhaustive and thus accelerated its visibility. We also implemented changes within the IR which allowed faculty to be more involved in students' submission process, which strengthened connections between faculty members, the library, and the Office of Undergraduate Research. Belmont administration was so pleased with BURS that they accepted a proposal to lengthen and diversify the event. I will discuss the library's partnership with Undergraduate Research and how we changed our IR workflows and processes to enhance our BURS collection and achieve greater recognition for Belmont students.
