Instruction Librarian Amy Chen exhibited her poster on \u201cTwentieth Century Literary Collection Acquisition Patterns.\u201d This poster is the result of her research on the marketplace for writers\u2019 papers, begun when she completed her dissertation on the topic for her doctorate at Emory in English in 2013 and continued here at Iowa. Prior to SAA, she spoke about this research in a presentation for the Iowa Writers\u2019 Workshop back in April 2016. She very kindly shared her poster here.<\/p>\n
