We've done a very recent analysis of archival systems and decided upon a new architecture based on our local functional specs. This was greatly informed by the CLIR report. I blogged a bit more detail on the solutions we've selected and are in the process of implementing at http://library.caltech.

It appears that the Renaissance Seattle has no rooms available Feb 5-9 2012, using the link from the conference registration page. One can go directly to the hotel web site and make a reservation at a higher rate, however. Any recs for nearby lodging at comparable rates? Laura -- Laura J. Smart
