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.
