Dear Colleagues, I'm pleased to announce the opening of the DLF Spring Forum 2007 registration and posting of the preliminary program. Many thanks go to the Program Committee for all their heavy lifting in pulling together a program, and all the fine proposals we received from our community. This Forum is unique in that the DLF Board will be meeting during a pre-conference session, so they could position them at the heart of one of DLF's main activities. Some of the Board Trustees will be participating in panels and open discussion sessions, engaging DLF Trustees and activists in a dialogue that may set the pace for the organization as it moves forward under the leadership of Executive Director Peter Brantley. Also, the Board would like to extend an invitation to a special evening reception at the Huntington Library on April 23th for good cheer, conversation, and food. More information about the Spring Forum 2007 is available from http://www.diglib.org/forums/spring2007/. Please note that all attendees, including presenters and Trustees, should register from the URL http://www.regonline.com/120038, and all individuals are responsible for their own travel and lodging arrangements. DLF has contracted a room block at conference hotel, The Westin Pasadena Hotel, at a rate of $184/night per single occupant referencing "Digital Library Federation Spring Forum." Link from the event Web page, registration form, or visit http://tinyurl.com/rp75b for more information. The group rate is available until March 15th or until the block is full, which ever comes first. Please excuse the cross-posting, as I've cast a wide net to ensure as many interested parties as possible have access to information about the event. Regards, Barrie L.
