Many of these papers can be downloaded by clicking the indicated link to the website. A couple of them are in HTML, and can be read and printed from your web browser; others are in postscript (ps) or Adobe PDF files. To display and print postscript files (.ps), you may need a utility called GSView or Ghostview, which comes with Ghostscript, or something similar. You can download these from here or here. This should also enable you to view and print PDF files, or you can get Adobe Acrobat Reader for this purpose. If you have trouble downloading a paper from the website, I can e-mail the file to you, and will also have printed copies that you can borrow briefly to photocopy.

I strongly urge you to download these papers well in advance! Do not wait until the last minute, only to discover that the website is unreachable.
