Invitation and Agenda
Greetings!
The Digital Library Federation (DLF) is sponsoring a joint meeting of the TEI DLF Task Force and the TEI in Libraries Special Interest Group (SIG) as part of the Spring 2008 DLF Forum. Participation in the meeting is open to all members of the Task Force and SIG, but attendance is capped at 20. As an incentive for participation, non-DLF members are welcome to attend the entirety of the Spring 2008 forum.
The Spring 2008 DLF Forum (http://www.diglib.org/forums/spring2008/index.htm) will take place in Minneapolis, Minnesota from Monday, April 28, 2008 through Wednesday, April 30, 2008. The Joint meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 28 from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm and will be chaired by Matthew Gibson and Michelle Dalmau. The purpose of this meeting is to revisit the "hot topics" discussed during the SIG at the TEI Members Meeting in College Park, Maryland (October 31-November 3) and provide the updates necessary as the SIG will take on curatorial work in the areas of "best practices." Please reference the meeting agenda below for additional information.
If you are interested in participating in the meeting, please contact either Matthew (msg2d@virginia.edu) or Michelle (mdalmau@indiana.edu) as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Matthew Gibson, Chair of the TEI DLF Task Force
Michelle Dalmau, Convener of the TEI in Libraries SIG
