CALL FOR PAPERS
POPULAR CULTURE ASSOCIATION 2007

LIBRARIES, ARCHIVES, AND POPULAR CULTURE RESEARCH AREA

The Popular Culture Association will be holding its annual joint meeting with the American Culture Association April 4-7, 2007 at the Boston Marriott Copley Place in Boston, Massachusetts. Scholars from numerous disciplines will meet to share their Popular Culture research and interests.

The Libraries, Archives, and Popular Culture Research Area is soliciting papers dealing with any aspect of Popular Culture as it pertains to libraries, archives, museums, or research. In the past this has included descriptions of research collections, studies of popular images of libraries or librarians, or reports on developments in technical services for collecting popular culture materials.

This year, we hope to have a panel dedicated to the pros and cons of Wikipedia.

Papers from graduate students are welcome.
