[SDH/SEMI Members] FIDLH 2009 Cancellation

[Richard Cunningham]

Dear SDH/SEMI Members,

I'm very sorry to inform you that we have had to cancel the Fall  
Institute for Digital Libraries and Humanities for 2009. The  
organizers have found that there are too many things working against  
the meeting as currently configured and scheduled. We plan to make  
this into a more formal, larger conference, with a call for papers and  
with workshops clearly demarcated (pre- / post-conference).  We  
apologize for not being able to pull this particular rabbit out of our  
hat, but in the absence of applied for and hoped for financial  
support, the hat was simply too small to produce enough rabbit to feed  
this year's set of workshops.  We intend to continue planning for and  
improving the configuration of FIDLH so that we will be able to offer  
Eastern Canada a viable local venue for discussing and improving our  
digital library and humanities projects and skills.

With regrets,

Richard Cunningham      &      Erik Moore
