    <Title>New Undergraduate Research Award with Special Collections</Title>
    <Tagline>Apply to receive $500 from the Friends of the Library</Tagline>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content"><h3>Special Collections Invites Applications for Undergraduate
          Research Award</h3><p></p>
          
          <p>The Friends of the Library &amp; Gallery is inaugurating a
          $500 award for undergraduates to do research in the library’s Special
          Collections.  Projects that make
          substantial onsite use of the Special Collections in any area ranging from the
          photography collections to the biological sciences archives, and from the rare
          books to the science fiction holdings are eligible for consideration by the
          committee charged with judging the applications.  Applicants must submit a project statement, a
          writing sample, and a letter of recommendation for them and their project from a
          faculty mentor.  <em><strong>The applications and
          accompanying materials must be submitted to Chief Curator Tom Beck by November
          12, 2015 for funding during the spring semester 2016.</strong>  </em></p>
          
          <p>Lois Kuhn Romeo, Chair of the Friends Council, said that the
          group is delighted to offer support to student researchers in Special
          Collections.  “UMBC is nationally
          recognized as an innovator in undergraduate research, and the Friends wishes to
          recognize talented students by giving them support in doing their research,”
          Ms. Romeo remarked.  Acting Director of
          the Library &amp; Gallery Joyce Tenney said: “The Special Collections have
          excellent holdings and superb staff that will be pleased to give the Friends
          award winners the benefit of their expertise.”  
          </p>
          
          <p>Questions may be sent to Tom Beck by telephone (x53827) or
