The 25th conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries takes place under the general theme of “Linking Theory and Practice”. This emphasises TPDL’s role over the last 25 years as a forum that brings together researchers and practitioners whose work intersects with Digital Libraries.

TPDL 2021 is hosted by The Open University and will take place online from 13. to 17. September 2021. The choice to go online is partly due to the current situation, but is also an important statement towards making academia environmentally responsible and lowering the barriers towards participation. To ensure that you do not miss out on the in-the-corridor chats, the conference will include a full virtual social programme.
