on Electronic Theses and Dissertations to be held June 16 – 18, 2010 at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas, U.S.A. ETD 2010 will explore the issues of collaboration, innovation, and sustainability in promoting ETDs, Institutional repositories and Open
Access in the realm of scholarly communications. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-TOP: 12pt"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">The NDLTD initiative consists of hundreds of contributing member universities, libraries, information organizations, consortia and individuals.
Membership details are available on the NDLTD website and dues-paying members are offered a discount on the conference registration fee. The NDLTD's activities are focused on those who produce, manage, store and use electronic theses and dissertations in order
to support the authoring, indexing, archiving, dissemination and retrieval of ETDs worldwide. Conference attendees typically include librarians, graduate school administrators, information technology professionals and graduate faculty, staff and students.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-TOP: 12pt"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">"ETD 2010: Collaboration, Innovation, and Sustainability" is organized by the NDLTD, The University of Libraries, and the Texas Digital Library,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-TOP: 12pt"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">The purpose of "ETD 2010: Collaboration, Innovation, and Sustainability" will not only be to present research outcomes and demonstrate new developments
and initiatives in the field of electronic theses and dissertations, but also to encourage even more universities around the world to become a part of the NDLTD and to promote free, open and long-term access to online scholarship. For institutions and individuals
that are at the early stages of investigating how to operate and promote an ETD project or program, the conference will also offer a range of learning and networking opportunities within an international collegial atmosphere of a premier university for graduate
professional education.</span></p>
