CONFERENCE PAPERS

Those giving papers are asked to supply them in advance, for inclusion in the bound volumes of papers which will be available from the conference opening.

 

* Either provide two single-spaced copies, on A4 or US Letter paper, with one inch margins, and with a copy of the text on a DOS disk in MS Word format (if in doubt, please contact one of the convenors in advance). Or send the paper to Colin Barker as an email attachment in Word.  

 

* Word limit 7,000 words (including notes etc.)

 

* Final date for receipt of abstracts: 8th March 2004

 

* Final date for receipt of papers: 15th March 2004

* Participants who do not supply their papers by the final date are asked to bring 50 copies to the Conference for distribution. Advance submission is much preferred, since the bound volumes of papers are sent to the British Library but loose papers are excluded.
