If you want to learn to build Nubian vaults, go to http://www.adobealliance.org/simone-swan/
She holds workshops where you will build actual buildings and roofs. The whole idea is to do it with mud only, no forms, Hassan Fathy style. She has also developed formulas for waterproofing plasters which could just as easily be used for papercrete structures.

Hi Kristen,
Nader Khalili's book is a good how-to source. Papercrete works very well for dome and barrel vault construction. We have built both here in Alpine and Marfa, TX. and so has Clyde Curry over in nearby Marathon. We're not that far from southern NM so come check them out sometime. Also you can see pictures on the papercreter's website.
