Title

A case study analysis of the accessibility, dissemination, networked infrastructure, and alignment for scholarly communication through ETDs for postgraduate research in South African universities

Description

The paper will seek to establish the challenges that continue to block the establishment of a National Repository of Theses and Dissertations in South Africa, as a central repository of ETDs from all universities in South Africa. It will also attempt to leverage the value of the repository networking and integration, to equip repositories with a wider array of roles and functionalities, which can be enabled through new levels of web-centric interoperability.
