We will start our meetings at 9:00, and end at 4:30 on the first day, 4:00
on the second day (if this does not seem like enough time for everyone to
get to their trains and planes, please let me know now, and I will try
and adjust the schedule).
I am asking that those who will be speaking send an email to the group.
You have already received a posting from Jerry McDonough on the DTD, and
should be getting email from Robert Rieger and Geri Gay at Cornell's
Interactive Media Group (IMG), who will be working on the project
evaluation. We are hoping to have a preview version of the database ready
to send out, perhaps next week, although I'm not certain that will be
possible.
We will be meeting at SIBL, the Science, Industry and Business Library of
NYPL which is at 34th Street between Madison and Fifth Avenues. The public
entrance is on Madison Avenue.
