The Open Library Environment Project invites you to a 1.5 day Regional Design Workshop at Utah State University. 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.
Due to space limitations, registration is limited to 45 participants. If more than 45 apply to participate, we 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 University Inn on the Utah State campus for the nights of Jan. 13th and Jan. 14th for a daily rate of $65 plus tax for those attending the workshop. Call the University Inn (800-231-5634) before Dec. 30 to be guaranteed a room at this rate, and mention that you are part of the OLE Project group.
Location and transportation:
Logan is located in scenic Cache Valley, 75 miles north of Salt Lake City. Transportation from the airport is available via rental car or Cache Valley Limousine’s Airport Shuttle. Skiers attending the workshop may wish to extend their stay and enjoy the Utah powder at the nearby, family-owned Beaver Mountain Ski Area. Additional information on Logan and Cache Valley is available.
This workshop will be moderated by Beth Warner and Mary Roach of the University of Kansas, an OLE Project partner.

I notice that in the place where one indicates the “ILS functional area” with which he/she is most familiar, the list is of very traditional areas, with no place to indicate some of the newer functions that might fit into a future system. Perhaps you could add some of these and/or offer a space to write in a category not on the list. Some new functions: digital libraries; institutional libraries; scholarly communications
