INTRODUCTION

The UIUC D-Lib Test Suite Workshop is organized by Grainger Engineering Library, UIUC.  This is a 1.5 day workshop (full day on August 19, and till 12:00pm on 20 August).

The Workshop will review the developments and achievements of the past 12 months, and we will also discuss future plans.  The UIUC D-Lib Test Suite is a follow-on from Digital Library Initiative research 1994-98.  As in the past, this year's sessions are mainly technical in nature although we will touch on strategic issues for the next 2 years of the project. 

The following is a copy of the Workshop agenda, a list of nearby hotels which you can make accommodation arrangements, and links to maps and directions.

We will be providing breakfast and a box lunch during the Workshop days and all participants are invited to dinner on August 19.

If you require further information or assistance, please contact May Chang at (217) 244-7837 or email maychang@uiuc.edu.
