Virginia Tech ETD Website – A Resource Worth Sharing

I recently encountered Virginia Tech’s ETD website and thought this might be a resource worth sharing. I firmly believe we can learn from best practices at other institutions. The challenge is more often in the discovery of these best practices and the time that discovery requires. As may of you are aware Virginia Tech was one of the pioneering institutions in the field of ETDs. The website has some excellent copyright resources for institutions looking for information about fair use, publishers attitudes toward ETDs, instructional guidance, assistance with obtaining necessary permissions for inclusion into an ETD, and much more. Check it out. –Laura
