Agenda

HTRC is seeking participant feedback!  A rough agenda has been posted to http://www.hathitrust.org/htrc_uncamp2013 to give attendees a sense of what we've got planned, but we've kept several spaces open for attendee-driven session, birds-of-a-feather meetings, and breakout sessions.  This is your event, so please help us finalize the agenda by sending your suggestions to htrc-uncamp-l at list.indiana.edu<mailto:htrc-uncamp-l at list.indiana.edu>.


HTRC
