Workshops have been an important part of both the Hypertext and the Digital Libraries programs in years past. This year is no exception. Workshops provide participants with an opportunity to "get their hands dirty" in a tightly focused group. In addition to workshops associated either with HT '00 or DL '00, there are two "cross-conference" workshops this year.

If you have any questions regarding a workshop, please contact the workshop organizers directly. The contact information is found at the individual workshop pages.

Information about pricing can be found on the Registration page.

You must have the permission of the organizer of a workshop to register for that workshop. If you would like to register for a workshop, contact the organizer of that workshop and ask for the workshop's registration code. You will need to include this information when registering for the conference(s) and/or workshops(s).
