Thanks to the opening of the Center for the Fine
and Performing Arts Theatre (CFPA), more than 500
dance students and faculty representing 31 colleges
and universities from Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana,
New Mexico and Florida will convene at TAMIU
February 2012 for the American College Dance
Festival Conference / South Central Region.
It is the primary academic conference for college/
university dance.
“Colleges and universities from our region
line up about five years in advance to host this
important conference. We had never been able to
put ourselves on the list because we did not have
an appropriate venue for dance performance,” said
The Sue and Radcliffe Killam Library has gone
digital…well Texas Digital Library (TDL), that is…
the Library is one of only 15 state universities in the
consortium of higher education institutions that
provides shared services supporting research and
teaching.
The new partnership affords TAMIU students,
faculty
and
community
remarkable
new
opportunities, especially in the realms of digital
storage, publication, and preservation of research,
scholarship and teaching materials.
The Killam Library will be participating in
TDL’s digital repositories, an electronic thesis and
dissertation submission and management system
and a variety of scholarly communication services
including online journals and blogs and scholarly
conference management software.
The Library has impressive special collections and
archives assets that can now be more readily shared
with larger audiences and researchers through digital
repositories. The electronic thesis and dissertation
system is highly useful to graduate students. The
scholarly communications suite helps researchers
to move print journals online and develop focused
scholarly conferences.
The TDL began in 2005 as a partnership between
the State’s largest universities: TexasA&MUniversity,
Texas Tech University, the University of Houston and
the University of Texas. Collectively, its 15 members
represent more than 250,000 students, 50,000
graduate and professional students and more than
20,000 faculty members.
