The United States Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Association (USETDA) will hold its 14th annual conference from September 25-27, 2024 on the campus of Brigham Young University (BYU), in Provo, Utah and online as a hybrid event via Zoom.
USETDA 2024 is for graduate school, disability and student services, offices of diversity, equity and inclusion, library, information technology and industry professionals and others who work with electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs), institutional repositories, graduate students and scholarly communications. Our goal is to offer relevant, practice-oriented content to support ETD professionals, advance ETD operations and efficiency, and encourage the formation of state-wide ETD associations in the United States.
The conference theme “Tech’s Next Frontier: Transforming Research & Digital Scholarship” will delve into technology as it impacts various aspects of the creation and dissemination of scholarly work. We will examine the present use and availability of ETDs and related initiatives. We will also explore new and emerging ETD practices, needs, and influences that impact administrative, graduate school, and library professionals.
