Reviews
This book provides a coherent and practical guide to electronic thesis and dissertation (ETD) and related program implementation and repository collection management to enhance scholarly communications at colleges and universities. It includes comprehensive discussions on born-digital and retrospective digitization projects, scope and types of collections, campus outreach, logistics, author rights, institutional responsibilities, academic publishing trends, repository systems and services, resource management, standards and preservation. This well-documented text offers relevant real-world examples and illustrations as well as sources for further assistance. Written in easily digestible sections, this invaluable and timely resource will be appreciated by novice as well as veteran librarians, graduate school administrators and information technologists. -- John H. Hagen, executive director, United States Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Association (USETDA)
Managing and Improving Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Programs, by Matthew C. Mariner, is a must have for the reference shelves of prospective, new or even well-established Electronic Thesis or Dissertation (ETDs) programs. ETD's have been around for 20 years but that does not make them easy to establish, manage or improve. With chapter topics including authors' rights, retrospective digitization and capstone projects, anyone involved in any phase of an ETD program would benefit from owning a copy of this resource. -- Cathleen L. Martyniak, director, Southern Regional Library Facility and Collaborative Shared Print Programs, University of California, Los Angeles
