Electronic
Thesis and Dissertations Pilot Project -- Graduate
students in Arts & Sciences, Engineering, Medicine,
Nursing, Public Health, SAIS and SPSBE who are finishing or
have just finished the master's essay or doctoral
dissertation are being sought for a pilot program. Using
Web-based software, students submit a PDF version of their
essay or dissertation to a server along with title,
abstract, keyword and committee information. Once the essay
or dissertation has been approved by the Graduate Board, it
will be made available for electronic browsing or searching
via a federated database of ETDs and via search engines.
The software allows users to specify the degree of
availability for all or different parts of their essay or
dissertation. ETDs offer greater availability of graduate
research for scholars worldwide, the ability to use
multimedia and hypermedia to create a richer presentation
medium, lower costs of submission and handling and reduced
storage space requirements by using electronic
preservation.
