“…Eaton emphasized that "one of the most accessed ETDs had been downloaded tens of thousands of times" (p. 6). Lippincott and Lynch (2010) echoed these reports and added that because ETDs have been indexed by major search engines, institutions implementing ETD programs have reported thousands or even tens of thousands of downloads from around the world. ETDs have become popular among online users because of their easy discoverability, convenient access, and free availability; they thus have become one of the most effective ways for institutions to increase use of theses and dissertations (Fox, McMillan, & Srinivasan, 2012).…”

The dangers that digital files face can seem merely the stuff of theory and risk assessment matrices until an institution experiences its first data loss; especially when those digital files represent the graduate research output of a university, the potential impact of that loss increases exponentially. The authors present a case study of the challenges one academic library has encountered in the stewardship of its electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) over the course of a decade. This article examines the problems that can arise years after the transition from a physical to electronic collection and presents documentation solutions that can make ETD preservation and curation more effective.

“…The current literature has frequently discussed issues regarding ETD collaborations, online access software, and metadata (Early & Taber, 2010;Lippincott & Lynch, 2010;McCutcheon, 2011;Yiotis, 2008). Rare is the literature, however, concerning the long-term digital preservation of ETD programs (McMillan, 2004).…”

“…For several internal reasons, the University of Louisville has only partially embraced ETDs. As Lippincott and Lynch (2010) have noted, American colleges and universities vary greatly in how "quickly and aggressively" (p. 8) they have embraced ETDs. They also observed that, "In 43% of the institutions, the ETD program was mandatory for both doctoral and masters' students, an additional 10% stated that submission of an ETD was mandatory only for doctoral students, and around 14% stated that it was mandatory only for students of specific colleges or departments" (Lippincott & Lynch, 2010, p. 9).…”

Graduate students completing an electronic thesis or dissertation (ETD) may encounter issues related to copyright, either their own or that held by others, at several points throughout the creation and submission of their ETD. Since ETDs are often hosted in an institutional repository or other online collection hosted by the library, library personnel involved in the process must be aware of these points of failure and understand the nuances of copyright with regard to reuse of materials, their institution’s policies governing student scholarship, and the policies of their institutional repository or online collection. This poster will review the relevant literature related to copyright and ETDs, outline the major junctures where librarians may contribute to copyright education for graduate students (and others), and offer suggestions for librarians seeking to engage with graduate students completing their ETDs.
