Description
Summary:A study examines electronic theses and dissertations (ETD) and argues that the advantages of ETDs far outweigh the perceived disadvantages. The reluctance of many in the academic community to exploit this technology is unfortunate. Copyright, fair use, and the question of whether or not publishers view ETDs as prior publications are also discussed. At the present time, there are two standard types of ETDs: author-created documents consisting of a text file converted to PDF, HTML, or XML and submitted over a network connection with related metadata; and electronic files created by scanning the pages of a paper thesis or dissertation. Today, surprisingly few music-related ETDs include multimedia supplements.
