Libraries) invites proposals for panel sessions and symposia/workshops,

the Digital Future for All" (November 3-9, 2006, Austin, Texas).

Panels and symposia present topics for discussion such as cutting-edge

controversial issues, reports by practitioners on current information
science and technology projects, and contrasting viewpoints from experts
in complementary professional areas.
