NDLTD Consortium
Most members have only implemented preliminary studies or pilot programs
Need more academic institutions to require ETD submissions
NDLTD vision of globally federated digital library of graduate research

Collection Maintenance
WVU Academic Computing Server and maintenance: (.3 fte; existing
personnel utilized) Dell 20 GB hard drive, Windows NT OS, initial
programming, archiving routine Coordinates with University Libraries for
archival microfilming or alternate backup via UMI
![Page 17: Electronic Dissertations and Beyond The WVU Experience.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e395503460f94b2a400/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Education WVU Workshops / Consultants:
1.0 fte; rotates among 4 consultants existing personnel utilized
ETD Document Preparation and Conversion Academic Computing
Many students need lack basic word processing and multimedia skills
ETD Program Overview and Submission Process University Libraries
1/3 of reviewer’s time spent advising, teaching seminars
![Page 18: Electronic Dissertations and Beyond The WVU Experience.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e395503460f94b2a400/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
University Libraries / Technical Services Division Submissions
1.0 fte; existing personnel utilized): Technical Consultant and occasional backup (equivalent to submission & review by graduate school)
Cataloging 1.5 fte; existing personnel utilized:
Cataloging Librarian, Library Technical Assistant Cost reductions for binding, handling, etc: $6.00/ dissertation unit savings of at least $1,000 annually Handling: no book processing required (labor
intensive)

access to restricted ETDs Preparation for expanded use of electronic
delivery & copy services

Web Distribution Options:Student Submits ETD Online
WVU Web Distribution Options1. World
2. Campus Only
3. Campus Encrypted
4. No Access

Realities of Digital Publishing
Student Publishing Concerns How have publishers reacted to articles
from ETDs?
University Tenure Systems and Digital Publishing Is digital publishing being recognized for
basis of granting tenure and promotion to university faculty?
![Page 23: Electronic Dissertations and Beyond The WVU Experience.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e395503460f94b2a400/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Web Posting Is Not Prior Publication
Role of journal as disseminator and archive for the academic record
Role of journal as peer review Redundancy is part of long-term educational
process Self-acknowledged archiving Economics will convince publishers to adopt
liberal Web policies
![Page 24: Electronic Dissertations and Beyond The WVU Experience.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e395503460f94b2a400/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
“Published” status =peer review
Prior publication (i.e. Web distribution) is discipline dependent– Physical Sciences: non-restrictive– Life Sciences: emphasis on level of access– Medical Sciences: emphasis on level of access– Social Sciences: emphasis on revision of content
Conclusions: Myth and tradition create
mis-perception
![Page 25: Electronic Dissertations and Beyond The WVU Experience.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e395503460f94b2a400/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Survey results from Virginia Tech 1997 - 1999 Access Status
– 48% World Access– 33% Campus Only– 19% No Access
Graduate Student Survey– 78% limit access on faculty advice– 13% limit access on publisher advice
Alumni Surveys– 43% successfully published derivative works– 100% found no resistance from publishers
