Electronic Theses and Dissertations examines how electronic publication of theses and dissertations might enhance graduate education. This text clarifies the composition, evaluation, dissemination, and preservation of electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs), and provides a conceptual framework for the development of effective ETD programs. It identifies the main technical concerns related to the adoption of ETD initiatives and contains answers and methods that have proven effective in the longest-running library-group support effort for campus ETDs, making it the foremost guide to the latest innovations, practices, and policies in ETD production, distribution, and institutionalization.
