The Library Prize was established by the Temple University Libraries to encourage more and better use of its resources and collections, to advance information literacy, and to promote academic excellence at Temple University. The quality of submissions in this, the Prize’s inaugural year, was truly outstanding. Hearty congratulations to all 58 students who submitted their applications into competition.
