Louise,   To get more information about hosting a site, go to:
http://www.oclc.org/institute/events/sbs.htm

It would be great if you could provide another site.  The cost is
pretty high, but if you decide to do it, we could promote your location
to other libraries.   -Susan

As this is a satellite downlink ( I assume) is there any reason why
that
cannot be extended to other locations?  We have a satellite downlink in
the
library at ALC which is a lot easier for us folks in Aberdeen to get
to.

OCLC Institute Teleconference- - Steering by Standards

Librarians face the challenge of charting organizational directions
that incorporate emerging knowledge-sharing standards. These complex
new
standards will significantly impact librarians and other information
professionals, their institutions, budgets, staffs, systems, and work
flows. Gaining practical insights into these global initiatives will
help library leaders decide more quickly and effectively how to
respond
locally.

To support this effort, FLICC/FEDLINK is sponsoring a Washington, D.C.
area viewing of the OCLC Institute's series of three satellite video
conferences at the National Science Foundation (NSF) at 4200 Wilson
Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia.

Registrants can choose to attend one session or all three. (See
registration and location information below.)
