Video and Audio Files Now Available

Posted: 4/16/2007^New!
Our first video and audio research files are now available on UGResearch.org. This development adds a new dimension to the site.

The video file is an anthropological documentary and joint research project conducted by Ben Grinnell, Matt Heineman, Matt Wiggins and Adam White from Dartmouth College. It’s an excerpt from a larger body of work called The Young American’s Project, which tells the story of America’s youth through interviews conducted in the Fall of 2005.

In their words, "This is a project about our peers. This is a project about young people – their stories, their issues, their futures, and their shared nation. It's about growing up, race, crystal meth, the Internet, Brad and Jennifer and Angelina, careers, love, and The American Dream. It’s not just about us, road-tripping across the country in an RV, writing, filming, and taking photographs. It's about the young Americans we met along the way."

The audio file is of the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra playing Weber’s Clarinet Concerto No. 2. It is in partial fulfillment of Peter Morgenstern’s Senior Thesis. Even more than research papers, audio files such as this one are often forgotten in college libraries. We are proud to put it on UGResearch and hope that you will download it.

We are constantly seeking to improve the site, so check back regularly. As always, please let us know if you have any suggestions.

Best,
Jeffrey Iacono and Peter Noteboom

UGResearch has added 3000+ Research Papers!

Posted: 2/25/2007
Welcome to the new site. Aside from the fresh design, we have also catalogued over 3,000 new undergraduate theses, ranging in topics from Abortion to Zinc Transporters in Yeast. We have some new subject areas, such as Architecture, Business, Criminology, Journalism and Medicine, as well as added significantly to our holdings on Education and Sociology. It’s an impressive array of research, significantly improving the intellectual breadth of our eLibrary. We hope you enjoy it.

We've also added some much older theses to the site. Our oldest theses on file are now from 1963. Some material (such as education) has changed a great deal over 44 years; however, there are two papers on Virgil and Homer which would be almost indistinguishable from undergraduate work produced today. We’re working on getting even more material, so stay tuned for updates. As always, please feel free to send any suggestions our way.
