On behalf of the DLF Fall Forum Program Committee I am pleased to say
that there is now a draft Program available at
http://www.diglib.org/forums/fall2005/.  (Note: this draft does not yet
reflect the pre- and post-Forum meetings taking place all day Sunday and
Thursday, and on Monday morning and Wednesday afternoon.)

It is another strong set of reports and discussions from a wide range of
digital library activities and spheres of interest.

New this year - in response to comments on the Forum Survey conducted in
the spring at the urging of the DLF Steering Committee - is a New
Attendees' Orientation, in recognition of the fact that we have a
significant number of first-time attendees at each Forum now (a healthy
sign).

And a variant this year is a double dose of Birds of a Feather sessions
- these roundtable discussion sessions are often the most useful venue
for a project, idea, or service in development, or for an unfamiliar
concept, and are lively and well-attended. 

Looking forward to seeing many of you in Charlottesville,

Best wishes, 

David
