Theme
Under the general theme "Added values to e-theses", ETD 2007 is organised around two main themes: "Integrating ETDs with institutional processes and practices" and "Value added services".
The focus will be put on:
- Integrating e-theses into local services (student portals, educational portals and platforms, research databases, electronic prepublication process)
- Integrating e-theses into the research process (ie. linking with research projects etc.)
- Integrating e-theses in national and international services (syndication, OAI-PMH, discovery services, syntactic and semantic interoperability)
- Local practices regarding e-theses
- Linking ETDs with related material such as data sets, statistics, multimedia
- Long-term preservation
- Business models and sustainability
- Legal issues (copyright, liability, plagiarism)
