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.
