The Texas Digital Library (TDL) is staffed by a combination of full-time core staff members and part-time expert contributors from TDL member institutions. The organization also relies on the volunteer contributions of faculty and staff at its member institutions, who provide expertise and advice to the TDL and advocate on behalf of the TDL at their respective institutions.
