Edward Fox

As this conference draws to a close, it is timely to discuss new services and activities planned by NDLTD and others involved in ETD initiatives. This presentation will report on results from the Tuesday meeting of the NDLTD Steering Committee, as well as results from a number of research studies undertaken over the last year. With new interest in content management, and growth of the idea of institutional repositories, the rest of the university community is starting to adopt key ideas pioneered by those working on ETDs. So, we continue to push forward with new efforts aimed to expand the union catalog, to improve access, to increase membership, to broaden training, and to solve difficult problems. We look for your comments to sharpen plans for another exciting year!
