(Frequently
Asked Questions)
Q: How many copies of my project do I have to submit?
A: You will submit ONE copy by emailing it to:
Daniel Bradford, Library Coordinator
Q: What is the deadline? When will you announce the winner?
A: All emailed/physically mailed entries MUST be received by 11.59 pm on Friday, May 2nd.
We will announce the winner on Monday, May 19th, 2014.
Q: What if I have a project that wasn't saved in electronic format or can't be emailed for some reason?
A: You can still submit it! Here's how:
1. Go to any CCSF library and tell them you want to submit a Library Research Award entry through internal mail.
2. Give your project to a City College librarian and ask them to send it through internal mail delivery to:
Daniel Bradford
Chinatown-North Beach Library
The May 2nd deadline at 11.59 pm still applies for physically mailed entries. I have to receive it by that day and time, so make sure you send it at least a week in advance!
Q: The faculty member who knows the most about my research is not the instructor for my class. Must the “supporting faculty member” be the class instructor?
A: Yes, he/she must prepare the “Faculty Supporting Documentation Form.” However, you may also include a letter of support from the faculty member who you feel knows the most about your research for the paper/project you are submitting.
Q: My paper/project was completed for a course that wasn't Summer 2013, Fall 2013, or Spring 2014. Can I still submit it?
A: Unfortunately, we cannot consider projects unless they were completed in a credit course you took for Summer 2013, Fall 2013, or Spring 2014.
Q: I have not yet completed the paper/project by the award deadline. Is it necessary to submit a finished paper/project? Would a draft version be acceptable?
A: You may submit a draft version of your project. However, for the purposes of judging, the more complete a project/paper is, the better. Certainly, an early draft would not be acceptable.
Q: I dropped the class, but did the research and completed my project. Is my project eligible?
A: No, you must have already gotten, or be in the process of getting, credit for the class in order to be eligible for the prize.
Q: Is my honors course project/paper eligible?
A: Yes, certainly.
Q: Are team projects eligible?
A: Yes, they are. Teams should submit a single application for their project. All team members should contribute. If a team project/paper wins, the money will be split equally among the team members.
