Digital Frontiers 2014 continued the traditions of diversity and collaboration established in previous years. Panelists and presenters included librarians, students, and scholars representing a variety of disciplines, and stages of professionalization. And we proudly welcomed the Texas Woman’s University Libraries as partners in the Digital Frontiers project.
The conference was held at TWU’s newly-renovated Hubbard Hall, 301 Administration Drive in Denton. Registration is available through Sept. 13 (Friday). Fees range from $40 to $125, with those who register at higher levels receiving perks such as travel mugs, locally roasted coffee and VIP tours of TWU’s special collections and archives with a luncheon catered by Queenie’s Steakhouse in Denton, owned by celebrity chef Tim Love.
