HONORS PAPERS
Standards for Honors Study at Connecticut College are set by
the college and by academic departments. Students who are writing
Honors papers should confer with their advisers about manuscript
preparation and matters of style.
Guidelines for submitting an Honors paper to the library
One copy of each senior Honors paper written at Connecticut
College must be deposited with the Registrar by a date determined by the Registrar.
The library has established requirements for the submission
and the physical format of the Honors papers in the Archives:
- Each Honors paper given to the library will be in a standard
black thesis binder provided by the student or the department.
Binders are available in the College Book Shop. The ring-binder
is not an acceptable format.
- A high-quality acid-free bond paper will be used in the manuscript. Recycled
paper is not suitable for the preservation of manuscripts.
- Standards for the format of the Honors Paper are determined by the department. However, if a student has been given no guidance in this matter, he/she should be advised to allow for a left margin of at least 1½ inches.
Finding an Honors paper in the online catalog
Honors papers submitted to the library since 1990 have been
cataloged in Caravan, the CTW online catalog, and may be found
by using the standard search strategies: name of author, title
of work, or keyword. In addition, a listing by department is
retrievable by typing the following "keyword" search in the
catalog:
- Connecticut and College
and Honors and
[name of department]
Ask at the Reference Desk if you want to consult the card
file of Honors papers written before 1990, which are listed
by department under the heading "Connecticut College authors
- Honors papers."
The library hopes to have all of the Honors papers cataloged
online eventually. The current collection of Honors papers
in the Archives is incomplete because over the years not all
papers have been deposited.
