Last Minute Reminders
We’re looking forward to welcoming you to Access 2008 later this week! Here’s some useful information we wanted to pass on to you before you arrive:
- Access 2008 is a single stream conference with all sessions being held in the Grand Ballroom on the second level of the Sheraton (except Hackfest, more info on that below).
- We didn’t send out registration & conference info ahead of time — your badge, program (etc.) will be waiting for you at the Access 2008 registration desk when you get to the Sheraton.
- The registration desk will be open from 7:30-9:30am and 4-7pm on Wednesday, October 1st and will be located in the lobby of the Sheraton. Starting Thursday morning at 7am, the desk will be located on the second level near the Grand Ballroom and will remain open for the duration of the conference (Thursday & Friday: 7am-4pm; Saturday: 7am-1:30pm).
- For those attending Hackfest on Wednesday, October 1st, we’d like to remind you that it starts at 8am and takes place at the central branch of Hamilton Public Library on the 5th floor. Please ask for directions at the Access 2008 registration desk in the Sheraton lobby. The Central branch is located in the same building as the Sheraton and is a 1 minute walk from the hotel, so you won’t have far to go!
- If you signed up for any of the social events, check your name badge for your event/drink ticket and be sure to bring that ticket with you to the event.
- If you require a receipt for your conference registration, please email Meredith at mtutching@accessola.com. Put “ACCESS Receipt” in the subject line and Meredith will send you the receipt electronically.
See you at Access!

More on the CARL IR Meeting
The CARL Institutional Repository meeting will be held in the Ballroom South, on the 2nd floor of the Sheraton in Hamilton October 1, 2008, from 9 am – 4 pm.
Coffee and a light breakfast will be served before the meeting (starting at 8:30) and lunch will also be provided.
The main purpose of the meeting is to enable IR managers to network with each other. Thus, we will try to make things as informal as possible.
The focus will be on a roundtable at which everyone will have a chance to talk about their IR project, and discuss some of the challenges they face. Then, if time allows after the round table, we can address some specific topics of interest in more depth.

CARL IR meeting just before Access
The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) is holding a meeting on institutional repositories in conjunction with the Access 2008 conference. The meeting will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on October 1st at the Sheraton Hotel in Hamilton, Ontario
The purpose of the meeting is to provide an opportunity for those working with IRs to network with colleagues.
The meeting will be fairly informal and involve a high level of participation by attendees.
The morning session will be a round table, in which participants describe the activities and challenges of their institution in regards to institutional repositories. The afternoon session will be a discussion of “hot topics”, one of which will be an update on Canadian funding agency open access policies. Other hot topics will be determined by participants.
The meeting is free, and open to all those interested in attending. Please email Kathleen Shearer (mkshearer AT videotron.ca) by September 19th if you plan to attend.
You might want to book your room soon! The conference room rate was originally guaranteed til August 31st but we’ve just had the hotel extend that to September 5th. After September 5th, rooms can be booked at regular hotel rates (ranging from $179-205 per night). Visit the accommodations page for the online reservation link & more info.
