I am just wondering if any of these wonderful sounding talks will be
available on the ATHEN website for members who cannot make the event? I am
very sad to be missing it all as it sounds like a unique collection of
presentations on the state of alternative formats.

In the UK we are hoping to develop a repository of these kinds of things on
the HYPERLINK "http://www.altformat.com"www.altformat.com website that is
being updated at present.

Best Wishes E.A.
