Williams College CDE Research Papers

Archival copies
The left-hand margin of the text must be 1.5" or more. This will facilitate the binding of the thesis. The title page should be in the approved form (an example). Other details regarding format and production of your research paper are available at the Theses Guidelines site.

The permanent archival copy of your research paper should be printed out on a high quality paper: college bond, perma dur, or other acidfree paper. It should then be submitted to Rachel Louis in her office.

Releases
Each student is required to fill out and sign a release form, specifying her/his wishes regarding literary property rights (copyright), access to, and reproduction of her/his paper. (You may contact Rachel Louis in her office for help in completing this form.) A copy of the form, printed on acidfree paper, must be submitted with the archival copy of your research paper.

Personal copies
Extra copies of your work, to be bound for your personal use, may be turned in by you to Sawyer Library's Acquisitions/Serials Department. Students must pre-pay for binding of personal copies with cash or personal check. Credit cards and cash cards cannot be accepted. Costs are currently running approximately $9.00 per thesis plus $10 shipping charges (library rate).
