» Honors Theses at Digital Georgetown

Honors programs provide enriched research training for a select group of undergraduate students within their respective majors. These programs engage students in the research process under the mentorship of a faculty member. The Honors thesis is the outcome of the students' systematic investigation of their chosen research topic. A selection of such theses from the School of Nursing and Health Studies, the Department of Psychology, and the African Studies Program are now available via Digital Georgetown's Research Commons initiative, in collaboration with the Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC).

In the fall of 2005, the Georgetown Public Policy Institute's (GPPI) Practicum became an official Master’s thesis. Theses from this program can also be found in the Research Commons.

»Poster Sessions at the American Library Association Annual Conference

The American Library Association held its annual conference in New Orleans June 22-28, and the Library participated in two poster sessions at the event. Sandra Marroquin, with other members of the Chesapeake Information and Research Library Alliance (CIRLA), presented The CIRLA Fellowship: A Recruitment Model for Promoting Diversity in Leadership, which shared the efforts undertaken by CIRLA to develop a unique recruitment and professional training program designed to solve two problems: recruiting for diversity and developing expertise within the functional areas of research librarianship. Mark Jacobs and Karl Debus-Lopez presented Creating An "Equivalent Experience" 7000 Miles From Home: Georgetown University Builds a Library in Qatar, outlining the steps necessary to create a new library in a foreign country and culture, including the physical structure, hiring of staff, development and integration of services with DC and the building of the initial start-up collection.
