Dear friends, I am pleased to announce that the draft program for the DLF forum (4-6 May, San Francisco) is now available from our website (http://www.clir.org/diglib/forums/spr2001/spr2001.htm) You will notice that the there are a number of sessions billed as "working sessions of the DLF". These are included in response to the very helpful evaluation we conducted at our last forum in Chicago. In that evaluation, many of you asked that we provide as many opportunities as possible to discuss issues arising from various DLF initiatives. The "working sessions" provide those opportunities. Despite their rather ominous sounding title, we are looking forward to your views and opinions and not expecting to impose a kind of forced labor. Finally, let me remind you that the registration deadline for the forum is April 13th, and the deadline for reserving a room at the Hyatt (1-800-233-1234) is April 16th. I look forward to seeing you in early May. Kind regards, Dan Daniel Greenstein Director, Digital Library Federation CLIR 1755 Massachusetts Ave, NW Suite 500 Washington DC 20036 phone 202 939 4762
