Abstract: Stamatoplos, Anthony. 2009. The Role of Academic Libraries in Mentored Undergraduate Research: A Model of Engagement in the Academic Community. College and Research Libraries 70(3): 235-249. INTRODUCTION A decade after the Boyer Report, “Reinventing undergraduate education: A blueprint for America’s research universities,” the academy is making strides in institutionalizing formal undergraduate research programs. In taking courses within the Ethnography of the University Initiative (EUI), students engage in ethnographic, multi-disciplinary research about their university. Students ask questions of themselves and their peers about their world, their culture, their viewpoint, as seen through the lens and experiences of a University of Illinois student. Results from semester-long research are presented at a bi-annual student conference as panel or poster presentations. Students move from being consumers of knowledge to creators of knowledge, publishing their work in the institutional repository for future students to build upon. curiosity ask a research question
