Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) has extended both the registration deadline and the early registration rate for its upcoming School for Scanning (SfS) conference, to be held at the Koninklijke Bibliotheek - The National Library of the Netherlands  - in The Hague, The Netherlands on October 16-18, 2002.

The registration deadline is now September 27, 2002.  All who register by that date may do so at the early registration rate of $350 (USD).  No further registrations will be accepted after September 27.

Since its inception in 1995, the SfS has trained more than 2,500 people to create, manage, and preserve digital assets.  The event in The Hague marks the first time the SfS has been offered in Europe.  An outstanding faculty, including experts from both Europe and North America, will be presenting.

The SfS, which will be presented entirely in English, is funded in part by The Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) and the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC).  It is co-sponsored by the European Commission on Preservation and Access (ECPA) and the Koninklijke Bibliotheek - The National Library of the Netherlands (KB).
