Abstract

My research with the Library Summer Scholars Program was on the Monomyth, or the Hero’s Journey. The Monomyth is where a hero sets out on an adventure, faces a crisis, and returns victorious. In many ways my research process was a Hero’s Journey. In keeping with the theme of my research, my message is the research journey is a Hero’s Journey. By entering the library, a GVSU student can begin the research process, finding themselves on the first step of what may be their hero’s journey. Anyone can start on the journey to research, they simply must answer the call.
