>I are pleased to invite any of you who are interested to a small working
>group breakfast at ALA-Midwinter with Vicky Reich, Director of the LOCKSS
>program, to discuss the LOCKSS program's current status and short and long
>term goals.  Since we have discussed LOCKSS at a number of DLF meetings, I
>thought you might be interested in attending.    LOCKSS is an initiative
>of the Andrew Mellon Foundation and has been largely developed at Stanford
>University.  The intent of this meeting is to provide a forum for library
>directors to ask questions and to discuss LOCKSS future needs and
>directions if LOCKSS is to become a member-driven strategy for
>perpetuation of digital collections.  Penn State has decided to continue
>to support this program for two more years, as have a number of other
>research libraries.  This is an opportunity to look at how LOCKSS might
>fit into your library's future plans.  An update on LOCKSS development
>plans for the next two years will be provided.  It is important for
>as  many libraries as possible to join the LOCKSS Alliance in order to
>solidify its future.

>The breakfast will be held on Monday, January 17, at 8:00 a.m. at the
>Apropos Restaurant, Sheraton Boston Hotel, Prudential Center, 39 Dalton Street.

>If you are able to attend, please RSVP as soon as possible to Vicky Reich
