Indeed the archivists BOF is going to happen. Unless something extraordinary occurrs we shall be meeting Tuesday at 9pm (same time as the GNU BOF) in a room yet to be determined. We shall chat about things that those of us compelled to collect find terribly interesting. These include but are of course not limited to: * How does one find interesting things in the morass of news and then find those things on the net? * How do we keep everything we've ever found given finite resources? * How do we keep track of things we've found? * How do we get rid of things that really are of no further use or replace them with a better/newer version? * How do we share (on a local/regional/national/global level) the things we've found? * What can we learn (or steal) from the librarians? * How can <multi-media> help us? * How do we make all of this transparent to the users of our diverse computing environments? Those not able to attend should be apprised at a later date (in comp.archives.admin) of some bits of what did (or did not) happen. -- pjg@acsu.buffalo.edu / rutgers!ub!pjg / pjg@ubvms (Bitnet) opinions found above are mine unless marked otherwise.
