I’ve attended a number of ETD-related conferences over the past year and have had the privilege of listening to presentations by a group of individuals working on an MLIS grant project on the lifecycle management of ETDs. I’m truly excited about the work this group is doing to investigate and document issues from the creation to the preservation of ETDs. If you are interested in following their work, the see their Wiki, the Guidance Documents for Lifecycle Management of ETDs . I understand, once the project is complete, the outcome will be a series of documents and resources which can be used for workshops and other types of training.
