Update: Wi-Fi in Meeting Rooms Will Be Available

FYI
Contrary to my previous understanding, Wi-Fi will be available in the Sheraton Centre Toronto meeting rooms for CEAL 2017. I confirmed this today with the AV provider for the Sheraton. Also the AAS information sheet, "Know Before You Go" says:

We will provide complimentary Wi-Fi in all meeting rooms and common spaces in the Sheraton. Use the code AAS2017 to connect. Additionally, all attendees staying at the Sheraton or the Hilton will also receive complimentary internet in hotel rooms.

Regards,

Blackburn Room, 4th Floor, Robarts Library, University of Toronto

Register at https://goo.gl/forms/6qx1MHbplB4HdhbW2

The workshop aims to examine the critical roles that librarians play in creating and sustaining innovative digital scholarship, to share experience among those who have created successful projects and to motivate librarians to "own" a larger role in the creation and preservation of the digital realm.
Major topics of discussion will include:

• Case studies of projects that build and curate digital collections and content
• Tools and techniques for data visualization and text analysis
• Managing Metadata schema and APIs
• Managing students and volunteers
• Planning for collection scalability and data migration to new platforms
• Long-term preservation and access to digital media
• Best practices for managing rights to digital information
• Strategies for increasing the role of the library as a research partner in emerging areas of scholarship in Japanese studies

Pre-registration is required and workshop space will be limited. A need-based, limited funding support will be available for out-of-town participants. The NCC may be able to cover (shared) accommodation for up to 3 nights (March 12, 13 and 14, 2017) at the Holiday Inn Bloor Yorkville.
