Gumberg Library Award for Undergraduate Research Presented to Jaclyn Angstadt and Rachael Desmond!

Gumberg provides full-text access to over 100,000 journal titles and over 700,000 volumes, a collection of essential resources for any researcher or scholar at Duquesne University. Each year, Gumberg Library presents an award to the author(s) of the Undergraduate Research and Scholarship Symposium poster that most clearly demonstrates extensive and creative use of Gumberg Library resources, as well as the best understanding and application of principles of information literacy, and effective communication of research/scholarship.

This year the award and prize of $250 go to Jaclyn Angstadt and Rachael Desmond for their poster, Therapeutic Hypothermia and Neurological Outcome after Cardiac Arrest. Jaclyn and Rachael are both senior nursing students graduating in May 2014. The students acknowledged David Nolfi, Health Sciences Librarian, for providing crucial instruction in the use of the research database CINAHL to produce a high quality systematic review. Gumberg Library congratulates Jaclyn and Rachael for their well-earned win and wishes them the best of luck in their post-college endeavors!
