Multimedia ETD's: Challenges For Management, Panel Discussion
The growing acceptance of ETD's in academia offers more doctoral students opportunities to include informational elements in their dissertations beyond what can be represented in traditional, paper, dissertations. Sound, color images, video, and visualizations of data are among the media that can be presented as integral parts of the dissertation itself rather than as separately-handled supplements or appendices, and the institutional management of dissertations with such elements presents new challenges for libraries, other information technology and administrative infrastructures, and doctoral committees. This panel will address these challenges, offering administrative and technical experience that might help guide the larger ETD community toward more experimentation, research, and dialogue in this area.
