Everyone,

Sorry I didn't make it.  My OLE (Open Library Environment) workshop didn't end until 5 that night and there was no opportunity to step out for a call.  OLE is going to be a very significant initiative in the library world, with a strong identity and DRM component for people and collections.  I'd like to brief this group on the project at  a future call.

Everyone,

I'm at a fairly intensive workshop for the OLE (Open Library Environment)
project.  Some of you may have heard about this at CSG and other arenas. 
Rutgers is a participant in the Mellon-funded OLE design project and I'd
like to talk about it at a future call, because we have agreed that a
strong identity management component is critical.  I hope I will
participate in at least part of the call since we hope to break by 4:30.
