This year, Hypertext and Digital Libraries share a combined tutorials program. We've assembled a program of tutorials specifically designed to appeal to attendees of both conferences. Most of the tutorials are held between the two conferences, so that whether you've just finished attending HT '00, or just about to attend DL '00, attending one or more tutorials is easy. And, staying in San Antonio for a weekend tutorial may end up saving you money on airfare with a Saturday night stay over!

Information about pricing can be found on the Registration page.
