Public Health Precautions

Texas Digital Library and the TCDL Planning Committee encourages attendees to do what they need to feel comfortable and safe. 

As part of the University of Texas and, therefore, the State of Texas, neither TDL nor our UT-owned conference site are allowed to require masking. We encourage masking and support anyone who decides to mask. We will provide masks and hand sanitizer.

We expect guests to extend courtesy towards individuals’ masking choices and respect preferences to wear or not wear masks.

Emergencies

What happens when 911 is called? 

UTPD (UT Austin Police Department) doesn’t have regular patrols at the Pickle Research Campus.

APD (Austin Police Department) responds. Call is routed to an operator who gathers information. The operator relays information to the dispatcher. The dispatcher relays information to responding police to keep them updated on the situation. 

FAQ: When should someone call 911?

  • When there is an imminent threat to life or property
  • When there is an injury that requires immediate medical attention or there is an injury stemming from an assault, regardless of the timeframe
  • When a suspect involved in a crime is on scene of the incident or within sight

Important: If you are unsure whether to call 911 or 311 (Austin city services and information), you should call 911 and let a trained operator route the call appropriately.

If you are calling to file a police report, it can be made by calling Teleserve at 311. If you are calling from an area code other than (512), the number to 311 is 512-974-2000.

Mental health responses

  • UTPD are required to take de-escalation trainings covering mental health and crisis intervention.
  • If you or someone you know is experiencing a  need of mental health crisis, or is in need of immediate mental health services, help is available via the Integral Care 24/7 mental health crisis hotline 512-472-HELP (4357).

CCC Evacuation Plans

  • Emergency exits are located throughout the Commons Conference Center (CCC) and meeting rooms. Evacuation ‘rally point’ is the soccer field on the west side of the building. View the building layout.
