        RBMS Preconference Scholarships

        The Rare Books and Manuscripts Section (RBMS) of the Association of
        College and Research Libraries is offering scholarships to RBMS
        members to subsidize first-time attendance at the 41st annual
        Preconference, "Beyond Words: Visual Materials in Special
        Collections," which will be held in Chicago, July 5 though 7, 2000.

        Four full scholarships of up to $695 each will be granted. Full
        scholarships include a waiver of the $195 Preconference registration
        fee and reimbursement of up to $500 in housing and travel expenses.
        Six additional partial scholarships, consisting of a waiver of the
        $195 Preconference registration fee, will also be awarded.

        The 41st Annual RBMS Preconference will take place Wednesday through
        Friday, July 5 - 7, 2000, in Chicago, Illinois, immediately
preceding
        the ALA Annual Conference in that city.  Entitled "Beyond Words:
        Visual Information in Special Collections," the Preconference will
        focus on some of the myriad forms of visual information found in our
        collections.  In a series of plenary session dialogues, scholars and
        librarians will explore scholarly trends in visual studies and
discuss
        the challenges and opportunities offered by proliferating electronic
        tools and formats.
