Senior Projects Archive: Guidelines

Beginning in spring 2005, seniors in the College of Arts and Sciences may choose to work with their advisers on submitting their senior projects to a digital archive in duPont-Ball Library. Guidelines have been developed by the College and the library to support seniors who wish to make their work available in this way. This digital archive of Senior Projects was first requested by the University's Student Government Association.

1. Seniors must submit their projects digitally. Copies on disc or by email to sryan@stetson.edu are preferred; text should be in a standard font of MS Word (at least 12 point) with adequate margins, or PDF format or, in the case of art work, a standard digital file format. In digital format, we can also collect and archive senior projects that are multi-media. Each project must be accompanied by the paper cover sheet with the signatures of the student and faculty member as noted below, and a signed paper copy of the permission page as noted below in 3. The digital copy will include the names, but need not include electronic signatures.
2. Projects must begin with a standard cover sheet (sample), including:
   • Author's full name
   • Graduating Class
   • Title of Project,
   • Major(s); Minor(s)
   • Date of Submission
   • Brief Acknowledgement of special funding, if any (SURE, NSF REU, Dean's Fund)
   • Other brief acknowledgements (such as faculty, previous researchers in the field, student colleagues, parents)
   • Pledge: the author's signature indicating academic integrity
   • The Project's faculty adviser or advisers and the department chair or chairs, certifying that the electronic archival copy has been accepted by the Department in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree
3. A signed permissions page must follow the title page.
4. A brief abstract [preferably less than 100w] must be provided following the permission page.
5. Senior Projects will be stored and indexed in a new computer directory under senior projects archive.
6. Each Senior Project will be cataloged and linked from WebCat
