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 The DLF Fall Forum 2005 Program Committee Denise Troll Covey, Carnegie Mellon University Ann Lally, University of Washington David Seaman, Digital Library Federation Sarah Shreeves, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Erin Stalberg, University of Virginia Jewel Ward, University of Southern California Perry Willett, University of Michigan
