Additional workshop information

UW-Madison and the GDD team are committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment. All formal participants, observers and any others in attendance are expected to treat all other participants as well as staff and other community members with respect and consideration. We value a diversity of views, opinions, and backgrounds and expect that communication will involve constructive critiquing of ideas rather than individuals. UW-Madison and units on campus have many statements on expected conduct that pertain to this workshop. Of particular relevance to this meeting is the UW-Libraries code of conduct, which we expect all participants to follow.
