DkIT Library Prize

You worked hard, you got your projects in – ever feel like you could use a little appreciation?

DkIT Library is inviting undergraduate students to seek recognition for written work you have already done to be in with a chance to win an iPad. If you've completed and submitted a project as part of your course, all you have to do now is fill out an application form and return it with the project to us. You could soon be the proud owner of a new iPad. 

We’ll be taking a slightly different angle on assessing the paper to your lecturer, as assessments will be based primarily on your ability to gather and present information. This includes:

• Using infomation from various sources
• Critical thinking and ability to evaluate information
• Writing and presenting your work
• Crediting the source of information and applying the Harvard Referencing system

The deadline for submissions is 20th June 2012 and assessments will be made by 1st September 2012. Papers can come from any field of study or discipline with the exception of Learning to Learn/Learning to Research/Learning to Study modules. For more information on the judging panel and the criteria they will use to judge the entries, see the entry form which you should fill out and submit with your work. Papers can be submitted by hand to the issue desk or electronically to informationskills@dkit.ie.
