This collection contains the winning entries from the annual University of Kansas Libraries' Image of Research competition. The competition launched in 2015 to acknowledge and celebrate the role undergraduate students play in research and innovation. The competition challenges undergraduates to submit and share images and text that reflect their research or research process. A multidisciplinary panel of judges selects the winners. Selected entries are displayed in the Anschutz Library Learning Studio. The project was managed by Michelle Reed, who co-authored a chapter on Image of Research in Undergraduate Research and the Academic Librarian: Case Studies and Best Practices (ACRL, 2017).
