«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.»
