Charlottesville, Virginia, November 7-9, 2005

DEADLINE: FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 2ND, 2005

Members of DLF institutions are invited to submit proposals for papers

development. Presentations are taken on all topics but suggested areas
of particular interest include the following:

*Production - challenges, workflow, scale, sustainability 

*Tools - creation, delivery, and scholarly use of digital library
content 

*Harvesting data and metadata for new services 

*Mass digitizing issues and our need to think and act strategically
around them 

NOTE: We strongly encourage panels and presentations that pose problems
for discussion, and that make plain what others can learn from the
experience of the presenter(s).
