Conference Policies

Peer Review Process

All submissions to the Texas Conference on Digital Libraries will undergo peer-review by the TCDL Planning Committee, composed of 8 – 12 members.

Committee members will score each submission based on (1) clarity of the proposal, (2) potential to engage the audience, and (3) relevance to conference topics.

Please note that all speakers MUST REGISTER for the conference and are responsible for registration, housing, and travel costs.


Conference Code of Conduct

The Texas Digital Library (TDL) organizes an annual conference for the benefit of its members. The goal of the TCDL is to bring together those working on digital projects in order to build a practical, usable, and sustainable model for digital libraries. TCDL works actively toward the creation of a diverse, welcoming, and inclusive community of digital library practitioners, and is therefore dedicated to the creation of a safe, respectful, and collegial conference experience for all attendees.

Open, critically engaged discourse is expected to flourish at the Texas Conference on Digital Libraries. Participants are encouraged to respect the differences among attendees, and to be mindful of the diverse nature of our community in preparing presentations and engaging in conversation. There is no place at TCDL for harassment or intimidation based on race, religion, ethnicity, language, gender identity, or expression, sexual orientation, physical or cognitive ability, age, appearance, or other group status. Unsolicited physical contact, unwelcome sexual attention, and bullying behavior are likewise unacceptable. Nevertheless, constitutionally protected expression cannot be considered harassment under this code.
