Each year a group of junior and senior honors students working under the direction of Dean's Book Director select the Dean's Book Course texts for the coming year. As part of this Capstone Experience course, known as the Dean's Readers Seminar, the students research various aspects of the selected texts. Their research produces original papers of the students' own, along with annotated bibliographies of print and on-line resources. We in turn make those papers and bibliographies available to current Dean's Book Course instructors and students who are conducting similar research.
