[PADG:1234] PADG meeting in SF

[Joan Gatewood <joangate@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear PADG members:  Susan and I need advice.

Meg Bellinger from Preservation Resources, OCLC,  contacted me on Friday 
afternoon.  Apparently  OCLC presents a technical services program at ALA 
on Fridays, 1:30-4.  This  year the program has been turned over to Meg for 
a  program on  Digital Preservation.  She knows that PADG is also meets 
Fridays  2-5.  Her  program would draw approximately 400 people, many of 
whom will be from PADG.  She wants  to work out something between her group 
and PADG.  It would look something like this, Digital Preservation 1:30-4 
and  PADG 4-5.  It would leave about an  hour for announcements, etc. At 
the end of PADG,  Meg is offering to do a reception where we could talk 
among ourselves.  How does this strike you?

Meg has not yet invited speakers but is thinking she will have someone 
discuss metadata, someone from RLG, a representative from the European or 
Austrialian community to discuss activities there and someone from the US.

Please let us know through the listserv.  Thank you for your help.     Joan
