Call for Papers
The Electronic Theses and Dissertations Sourcebook
Innovative research universities are now requiring ETDs--electronic theses
and dissertations. Within the next decade, universities worldwide will
require ETDs. As this newest form of scholarship emerges, graduate
students, educators, and administrators need a reference book to help
demystify the theoretical and technical underpinnings of electronic theses
and dissertations.
We are seeking proposals for 15-25 page articles that address the issues
and possibilities surrounding this emerging form of research and
scholarship. Topics might include, but are not limited to, the following
questions:
*How might electronic publication of theses and dissertations change views
on scholarship?
*With greater access to non-traditionally published scholarship, how
might/should current copyright laws change to protect intellectual
property?
*What strategic moves can universites make to efficiently institutionalize
ETDs?
*Should active links in ETDs to URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) outside
the text be permitted, or should ETDs contain internal links only?
*How might graphics, hypermedia, and other non-text components of
electronic publications change our conceptions of dissertations?
