Update on the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations
Edward A. Fox · Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) · 2000
The Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD) (http://www.ndltd.org) aims to ensure that all future researchers and scholars have understanding and skills in electronic publishing and have used and submitted a work of their own to a digital library. If all graduate students who are interested in research prepare an electronic thesis or dissertation (ETD) and upload it to NDLTD then electronic publishing and digital libraries will be firmly established in the world of the academy and scholarship. If NDLTD receives proper support, it will become a vast, heterogeneous, federated, multilingual, multimedia digital library with more than 200,000 new works added yearly.
