[Sca-librarians] Call for papers: 2005 RBMS Preconference (fwd)

[Johnna Holloway]

Thanks for the notice. For those not in the know--
I'd like to mention that  these conferences can be very expensive
and unless your institution is willing to foot the bill, having a paper
accepted at one of these could result in huge bills for a 20 minute 
presentation.
ACRL in April is $395 for an ALA non-divisional member and $325 if one
belongs to ACRL.  If this conference runs the same amount, that's a lot 
of money.
I can spend the entire week at the International Medieval Conference,
pay for my dorm housing, and have money for eats and books at that amount.
