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 September 7, and till 12:00pm on 8 September).

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 year of the project. 

The presentations materials are also available online.
