Announcing ACCESS 2006

Here's news you have all been waiting for!  

The ACCESS 2006 conference   ***   Capitalizing on ACCESS   ***   will take
place October 11 through October 14 in Canada's Capital ... Ottawa, Ontario.


ACCESS, now in its 14th year, is a premier library technology conference
that attracts an eclectic group of technically savvy people working in the
information and library communities who get together to share fresh
challenges, projects, advances and solutions.  

The limited attendance and single-stream format of the ACCESS conference
gives attendees a unique focus on the issues and solutions of the day.  This
year's program continues with both seasoned ACCESS attendees and new faces
from near and far, presenting a program chock-full of demos, technologies,
methodologies ... and some fun!  

An annual feature of ACCESS is Hackfest, a day-long pre-conference adventure
in which coders and non-coder folks get together in a relaxed, no-pressure
atmosphere to tackle submitted projects and find solutions, in a mash-up
sort of way.  It is great and serious fun, with the magnificent results of
the day's work presented during the conference proper. 

Details of the ACCESS 2006 conference program, Hackfest, accommodation,
travel, and Ottawa tourism may be found on the conference website:

(in development, so please check back often!)

Join us in Canada's Capital to explore new methods, new code, new
challenges, and new directions.  

Capitalize on ACCESS 2006!
