 Good afternoon. My name is John Hagen, and I'm the executive director of the United States Electronic Thesis and Dissertation and Association USC-DDA. The USC-DDA is a national nonprofit organization representing the community and interest of graduate school and library professionals and others who work with graduate students and faculty, electronic theses and dissertations, institutional repositories, and scholarly communications. Go ahead Heidi. On behalf of our board of directors, I'd like to extend a warm welcome to everyone as you join us at USC-DDA 2020, our 10th annual conference. This year's theme is making connections, scholarly communications, and the digital age. We hope you will learn from the insights and experiences of our presenters and share your own thoughts as we begin our journey on exploring all things E-T-D. Next, thank you. Over the past decade, the USC-DDA conferences have been held across the United States. We've been to Orlando, Florida, Boston, Massachusetts, Claremont, California, Austin, Texas, Columbus, Ohio, Washington, DC, Denver, Colorado, and Charleston, South Carolina. Today, we have over 200 people attending the 2020 conference, mostly from the United States, but we also have a fair number of visitors with us from around the world. I'd like to introduce the USC-DDA board of directors who, as members of the conference planning committee, help to organize this event. I'd also like to thank everyone for your enthusiasm and thoughtfulness as we organized our first virtual conference. So our board of directors, Heidi RBC-Kelm, Valerie Kavanus, Valerie Emerson, Sally Evans, Lucia Fazzino, who is also our board secretary, Terry Green, who is also our board treasurer and our programming committee chair, Janice Robinson, Terry Robinson, Cynthia Tendonken, Stacey Wallace, Emily Wichner, and Aura Young. And if you're interested in serving on the USC-DDA board, feel free to contact us. We'd love to hear from you. You'll find our application on our website. Please help me to thank our sponsors for their generosity in helping make this event possible. We couldn't have done it without you. The Ohio E.T.D. Association, ORCID, ProQuest, Texas Digital Library, and the University of Florida Graduate School and Libraries. And don't forget to visit our virtual exhibition area for more information on our website. And by the way, I do have this presentation and our proceedings, so you can go back to this and click in to any of the links that are displayed. Go ahead. Next. Great. And finally, I'd like to acknowledge our host institutions, which are providing the Zoom room streams for today's conference, the University of Iowa, George Mason University, and the University of Florida. We want to remind everyone that today's Zoom meeting sessions will be recorded and available for later viewing. We've also posted copies of, sorry, I disappeared, we've also posted copies of presentations in our online conference proceedings. The conference program and program schedule are also available from our website. If you'd like today's conference, please consider joining US E.T.D.A. as a member, a member institution. The dues are only $100 annually and there are perks for members and it helps sustain our organization in annual conferences. Join us at US E.T.D.A. 2021 conference to be held live in theory at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Cleveland, Ohio next September 29th to October 1st, 2021. Alternatively, if all else fails, I'm sure we'll meet again here virtually in Zoom. Consider hosting the US E.T.D.A. 2022 conference in your city or on your campus. The US E.T.D.A. Board handles all the planning, financing, and logistics, and we simply need partners to assist with local organizing tasks. So we'd love to hear from you. A few tips on Zoom room navigation. Hopefully you guys have seen the information from the emails that we sent, but if you need additional information, we have the online tutorial. We're running today's sessions with three institutional Zoom rooms, rooms A, B, and C. Room A will serve as a plenary room as well as one of the breakout rooms. You can find all this information from our website, usetd.org. You'll click on the program schedule on the right hand sidebar, enter the password, which is lowercase US E.T.D.A. 2020. You'll select either the spreadsheet or the PDF format or the conference program itself is also linked. And then the next slide. There's a quick snapshot of the program schedule. You simply click on a session you want to attend, and then you click on the hyperlink. When the apical web page opens, you'll click on the Zoom room to join the session. Just remember, Zoom will prompt you to leave your current session when you want to go to a session in a different room, and that's okay. If you need assistance along the way today, we don't hesitate to contact a virtual help desk, or a young and I will be happy to assist you. And finally, I'd like to thank our presenters for sharing your experiences and wisdom with our audience today. I'd also like to thank you, our audience participants, for your devoted attention and your contributions to the E.T.D. community by being here with us today. So let's get started, shall we?
