The Open Library Environment Project invites you to a 1.5 day Regional Design Workshop at the University of Kansas. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for representatives of local research libraries and related institutions to discuss our work surrounding the current Integrated Library System and ideas on what this type of core system should incorporate.

Participation is open to any members of the research library community who work with the Integrated Library System either on a day to day basis or from a higher level. OLE will be developed as an open source library environment that meets the needs of research libraries. While care will be taken to design an open and flexible system that is useful for other types of libraries, such as public libraries, the focus of the project in this early stage is on research libraries. The workshop organizers will select a diverse representation of participants from a cross section of functional areas and institutions of varying size and mission.

There is no cost for attendance to this workshop other than your travel related expenses.

Hotel: A block of rooms has been reserved at the Marriott Springhill Suites for the nights of Dec. 15^th and Dec. 16^th for a daily rate of $79 plus tax for those attending the workshop. Call the Marriott Springhill Suites (785-841-2700) no later than Nov. 14^th to reserve your room at the $79 rate. Specify that the rooms are being held under the KU Libraries.
