Terry D. Kahn

The University of Texas at Austin instituted the requirement for digital submission of doctoral dissertations beginning Summer 2001. The first full academic year under digital submission has been completed. This paper relates the experiences of the Office of Graduate Studies as the digital submission process unfolded over the academic year. The process of digital submission was accomplished successfully, with fewer than expected troublesome cases, and yet with numerous adjustments to be made for the future.
