• Lockers for storing your materials
• Access to DukeSpace, an open access repository for Duke research (see directions for posting your papers)
• $1000 for your honors thesis! Enter your thesis into competition for the Aptman Prize or Middlesworth Award

And there's more...

For all undergraduate research projects, Duke Libraries can help!

• Meet with a librarian for one-on-one help in a research consultation
• Find articles and data to support your arguments in full-text research databases and e-journals (get them off campus, too!)
• Need to answer "where"? Or how things change from here to there? Use GIS (Geographic Information Systems) to map, analyze, and compare any digital data that varies by location, or use the library's extensive map resources.
• How many? How much? Strengthen your argument with empirical data. Data Services helps researchers identify and manage data sources for a variety of projects.
• Take a look at the library guide for tips for beginning your papers and projects
• Check out the library's subject guides for tips on researching military history, Shakespeare, poli sci, and more
• Keep your sources organized -- and format bibliographies in seconds! -- with Endnote or RefWorks
• Can't make it to the library today? Visit a librarian with office hours in several departments.
• Can't find what you're looking for at Duke? Borrow books and articles from other libraries through Document Delivery or from UNC-Chapel Hill, NC State, or NC Central with your Duke ID
• The Aptman Prizes and Middlesworth Awards aren't just for honors theses...submit your papers and projects for consideration -- you could earn $1000!
