Call for Papers
Graduate Student Conference in Archives, Rare Books, and Special Collections

February 9, 2008
Lilly Library
Bloomington, IN

This conference presents a forum for students interested in archives, rare books, and special collections to come together, share their work & experiences, and learn from one another. While providing a wonderfulexperience, conferences designed for the professional archivist are often intimidating for students, making it difficult to fully share
experiences and to ask those burning questions that nobody else has asked. Geared specifically toward graduate students, this conference hopes to create an atmosphere free of intimidation and full of
opportunities for students to learn from one another.

We are looking for student papers on any topic related to archives, rare books, or special collections. Papers may discuss an archival project you have participated in, your involvement in your local SAA student chapter, research topics, or any other related topic. Presenters will have 20 minutes to present their papers with an additional ten minutes of Q & A. All papers should be submitted for panel review to Lisa Hooper ( lkhooper@indiana.edu) by midnight, November 20, 2007.
