Title: Institutional Strategies and Policies for Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Authors: Lippincott, Joan K.
Creation Date: 2006
Issue Date: 20-Jun-2006
Publisher: Educause Center for Applied Research
Abstract: Almost without exception, students produce theses and dissertations in electronic formats, and it would seem that an institutional electronic thesis and dissertation (ETD) program would be the rule and not the exception. In the United States, however, ETD programs have been slow to gain ground; other countries are far ahead in implementing comprehensive strategies for the creation of and access to ETDs. The focus of this bulletin is on the development of institutional policies to address ETDs and the changes needed in academic culture to implement robust ETD programs. The value of ETDs as institutional intellectual assets is also explored.
