Mission Statement
The United States Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Association (USETDA) founded the ETD Formatting User’s Group in 2021 to give a platform and a source of support and advice to reviewers of theses and dissertations. At each yearly conference, the group will meet to discuss the past year’s challenges, issues and successes in the field, and to share knowledge and resources with colleagues. Furthermore, we will consider the future of formatting and format reviews: how is our field changing? How should our field change? In addition to the yearly gathering, a virtual discussion will be held via Zoom on the second Wednesday every other month at 2:00 p.m. EST, providing reviewers and their peers the opportunity to present issues, share solutions, and learn from one another.
