On behalf of the National Archives, I am most pleased to inform the
Digital Library Federation of a forthcoming research symposium co-hosted
in College Park, Maryland by the National Archives and the University of
Maryland. 

The central theme of the "Partnerships in Innovation" symposium is the

private sector.

LOCKSS-Stanford, DSpace-MIT, and DAITSS-The Florida Center for Library
Automation, as well as from the Georgia Institute of Technology, the
