Just before Helsinki...

Dear colleagues

Now there are more answers to the open questions I presented last week.
The Commission has no rule for lowering the subsistence in cases of a
conference participant fee including the meals. So I composed it from my
head, using an estimate of reasonably priced lunches and dinners. The
amount to be diminished is 30 Euro for one day and 15 Euro for a half day
- all in all 75 Euro for the conference period.

I also continue to collect information about your travel costs to see, if
there will be money left for other purposes. Unfortunately I still miss
some information, and we have to go through this in the Helsinki meeting.
Just now it does not look so promising, unfortunately.

The reservation for our dinner restaurant has been made: it will be Laguna
in Espoo, in between the airport and Hotel Meripuisto. It is a kind of
traditional country type restaurant - you can see pictures at
www.kolumbus.fi/laguna

About weather: we have snow, but it is to smelt - means slash. Temperature
something like plus minus zero. Take with you warm clothes and shoes which
can be used in wet snow!

I looked at the airport for the signs to the conference centre. There are
no sings, therefore this guidance: if you are coming via a Schengen
country like Germany, the lift to the third floor is in the arriving hall
2 (T2), on your right when you have passed the customs. If you arrive
directly from your home country, you have to walk from the arrival hall 3
(T3) to the hall # 2, pass the two big and funny wooden sculptures, and
then the lift is on your left. The conference centre is on the 3rd floor.

I heard once more in the Ljubljana workshop about the problems between the
national library and the publishers on legal deposit of the electronic
documents. Here is a hint about this concern:

"You can find a longer PM called Statement on the Development and
Establishment of Codes of Practice for the Voluntary Deposit of Electronic
Publications. The important point is that it has been adopted by the
Conference of European National Librarians AND Federation of European
Publishers (CENL/FEP).
See http://portico.bl.uk/gabriel/fep/ "

I wish you heartily welcome to Finland!
