I'd like to invite you to participate in an ALCTS e-forum hosted by 
Columbia University Libraries Nov. 18-20 on Collecting Free Web 
Resources: Selection, Archiving, Metadata Access. We hope to learn from 
our colleagues about web archiving and explore e-forums as a way to 
focus on a topic of current interest. Our hope is that this will be like 
a good listserv or blog without the time commitment or off topic postings.
You do not have to be an ALA/ALCTS member in order to "drop in" and 
listen or better still participate. You do not need any special 
equipment--participants type rather than talk. We would love to hear and 
learn from our colleagues from metadata communities other than the 
traditional cataloging community.

Instructions may be found at the link below.
