Please be sure to read the email sent out by Geri, Oya and Robert, in
addition to the memo sent out by Rick, the DTD tutorial sent out by Jerry,
_and_ the white paper, most particularly the sections having to do with
structural and administrative metadata. This last will be most helpful
when we are going through the database on Monday morning and afternoon.
The entrance we should used at SIBL on both days is the one located at 19
East 34th Street, as the main entrance will not open until 10:00. Our
hosts at NYPL will have signs posted to direct the attendees to the
entrance and conference room.
In case you need to be reached, we will be meeting in Conference Room
018 on the Lower Level; the phone number there is (212) 592-7060. There
are also several phones available nearby.
We are all very much looking forward to meeting you in person next week!
