DLF SPRING FORUM 2006: AUSTIN, TEXAS MONDAY, APRIL 10-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 2006 All of the following can be found on the Forum website at http://www.diglib.org/forums/spring2006/ 1) Registration is now open for the 2006 Spring Forum. Registration closes on March 10th, or when we reach maximum capacity, whichever comes first. 2) Hotel Reservations can now be made. A room block has been set aside at The Driskill Hotel for Forum attendees. Guestroom reservations are the responsibility of individuals, not DLF. Rooms can be booked at the DLF Forum rate of $169 per night, until the guaranteed block of rooms runs out and provided reservations are made before March 16th, 2006. Please mention the Digital Library Federation when making your reservation to ensure you receive this rate.
