Collection Overview
Contains graduate student discussion papers from the Institute of Statistical and Decision Sciences from 1987-2000. Papers are stapled, with a standard cover and title cutout. This collection does not include discussion papers that are available in full text through the I.S.D.S. website. Papers are catalogued individually in the University Archives. The ISDS supplied each paper with a DP number (i.e. 87-02, 96-04). This number is attached at the end of the call number. Since each paper is individually cataloged, only the ISDS-supplied numbers are used in the container list. Patrons and staff can cross-reference the call number (519.54 D611 P214x DP# _ _-_ _) with the container list below.
