Lesson 1: Read an ETD Lesson 2: Create a PDF File Lesson 3: Modify a PDF File Lesson 4: Add Navigation to an ETD Lesson 5: Add Multimedia

ETD Country Reports to NDLTD EThOS JISC/UK HE £420,000 India 2006: 12,000 legacy IR=DSpace + bepress/ProQuest Theses Canada 5 universities accept 3 pilot projects LAC harvests metadata and ETDs from 4 universities Brazil 4,000 ETDs Cultural challenge for student to initiate, participate ETD_db Germany 67 universities accept 25,000 ETDs = 23% TDs Australia Flexible national program Modified ETD_db IR = Fedora + Vital (VTLS)

Benefits: Low Margin, High Use Graduate School no longer stores and ships 2400 copies/year Library: 6,537 (Jan. 1, 1997-May 9, 2005) Ceased shipping, binding, barcoding, shelving, 2400 TDs yearly Included ETDs with other activities Improved services Saves space and money

Digital Library Resources $0 - $65,000 (not just ETDs) Hardware: server Maintenance and security Started small, upgraded as needed Software Local submission and management scripts; surveys Data logged with Apache LOCKSS Search engine Started small Grew to commercial; index every word

Popularity of VT ETDs

Availability of 6,400 VT ETDs

Authors’ Reasons for Restricting Access

ETDs and Publishing Issues Publishers’ surveys: no problems with ETDs No specific policies against ETDs Consider submissions individually Chapter greatly rewritten for different audience Peer review Alumni experiences: no problems Copyright Authors retain rights Explicit permission: university stores, provides access

Factors Effecting Archiving: Aligning Commitment and Resources Access Stable server and URIs Security Standard formats, future migration Cooperative Archiving (LOCKSS) Commercial Options

Digital Libraries & Institutional Repositories University service and resource provider Acquisitions of materials IR: intersection of communities authors and others deposit DL: community good Purchased, donated, and deposited NDLTD: Fedora, DSpace, Eprints Heery, Rachel, and Sheila Anderson, Digital Repositories Review. UKOLN: 19 Feb. 2005

Lessons from ETDs Easy and inexpensive to implement and maintain Implementation of new formats Few are innovative: text and book oriented Not considering online readers (e.g., navigation) If available, they will be accessed. Exposure of research exceeds expectations: Disappointing number are restricted Increasing number and diversity of NDLTD institutions IRs: Easy initial component
