Indiana University’s student chapter of the Society of American Archivists
is proud to announce our fourth conference for students and beginning
professionals to be held on Saturday, March 3-Sunday, March 4, 2012 in
Bloomington, Indiana.


If you are a graduate student in a library science, archives, or rare books
program or have entered the profession within the previous three years, we
invite you to submit your papers on topics related to archives, rare books,
or special collections for presentation at the conference.  The conference
theme of “Back to the Future: Reconciling the Past, Present, and Future in
Archives and Special Collections” can be interpreted broadly; we welcome
papers on diverse topics within the field.  In addition to paper sessions,
the two-day conference will include workshops and tours of Indiana
University special collections and repositories.


Each paper session will be an hour long and will include two presenters.
Each presenter will have approximately 20 to 25 minutes to speak, and the
session will conclude with a ten to fifteen minute period for questions and
answers.


To be considered as a presenter, please submit your paper, or an abstract of
150 to 200 words and a working title, to
saa.iub at gmail.com<iusaaconference at gmail.com>by
*Wednesday, November 30, 2011*. Along with your paper or abstract, include
your name, email address, institutional affiliation, and any audio/visual
needs.


The papers will be discussed and voted on in a blind judging process, and
you will receive an acceptance or rejection by the end of December. If you
have only submitted an abstract, your acceptance will be conditional. You
will be required to submit the completed paper by mid-February to have your
acceptance finalized.


If your paper is accepted, you will be sent a more detailed registration
form. At that time, you will also be asked to submit a registration fee of
$30 to cover the meals provided during the conference. More details about
meals, accommodations available in Bloomington, and other logistics will
also be provided at that time.  For more information, please visit
http://saaiu.wordpress.com/category/conference/, and direct any questions
you may have to saa.iub at gmail.com.


We look forward to receiving your submissions!
