Perceptions and attributes of Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs): a South African study

Evans, Neil Davies January 2006 (has links)
Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, in the Department of Communication Science, University of Zululand, 2006. / Ubiquitous access to digital networks and the Internet have revolutionised the way multimedia information is being stored, accessed and disseminated by information services. New technologies have played an important role in redefining preferred information and communication models to facilitate the efficient dissemination and retrieval of information. So has the emergence of electronic publishing and the global trend towards accessing and sharing digital content on the World Wide Web (WWW) led to a greater electronic dissemination of postgraduate academic Theses and Dissertations (TDs). These electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) provide a reservoir of knowledge that can easily be accessed by the international research community and diffused across all fields of research. Some 73 per cent of the study’s e-survey participants found obtaining research material online more efficient than using paperbound sources; 51 per cent were familiar with the concept of ETDs; 87 per cent agreed that adding TDs to an online database would improve the accessibility and use of this research; 65 per cent indicated that they would not have any reservations with adding their TD to an online database; and 48 per cent felt that ETDs should be introduced into their tertiary institutions.

我國博碩士論文數位典藏策略之研究 / A Study on the Strategy of the Digital Archiving of the Electronic Theses and Dissertations in Taiwan

陳奕達 Unknown Date (has links)
學術論文是學術研究的成果,經整理典藏並提供資源共享與利用,不僅鼓勵學術的蓬勃發展,同時也代表各學科領域的發展情況。隨著資訊科技的發展,近來國內外各學術單位對學術論文的數位典藏工作日益重視,致力於建置博碩士論文專屬資訊系統與電子論文徵集政策的推行,期盼能透過博碩士論文資訊的共建共享,長久典藏並分享論文資訊。   基於上述,本研究之主要目的即針對我國各學術單位在博碩士論文數位數位典藏的現況,以及資訊系統的發展模式進行瞭解,並進一步分析各單位在推動博碩士論文數位典藏工作時政策制訂的觀點,並歸納整理提出未來其他單位在發展博碩士論文數位典藏工作時的建議。   研究結果發現,目前國內各學術單位在博碩士論文數位典藏工作的發展還在起步階級,尚無具體的合作典藏計劃;而資訊系統的發展模式主要分為:委外資訊廠商開發、使用免費共享系統、館內自行開發系統三種,依據經費多寡而有不同的考量;各單位會因組織編制與經費成本,影響其在博碩士論文數位典藏工作參與人員、系統發展模式、博碩士論文數位化方式、電子博碩士論文呈繳方式、系統維護管理等方面的政策制訂。   在研究結論中歸納出八點如下:一、博碩士論文數位典藏工作參與人員包括行政單位人員及學者專家;二、資訊系統發展主要有三種模式;三、博碩士論文數位化以Acrobat軟體所製作的PDF檔格式為主;四、研究生透過資訊系統線上呈繳電子論文檔;五、博碩士論文數位典藏系統具備全文檢索功能及與書目資料庫連結查詢的機制;六、數位典藏維護工作需定期備份以降低資料毀損的風險;七、全國性的博碩士論文數位化合作典藏機制亟待建立;八、學位論文著作權及電子傳播之相關法律問題尚待釐清。最後也提出四點建議:一、建立全國性合作典藏機制,進行徵集與維護數位化論文的工作;二、依組織特色擬訂博碩士論文數位典藏政策;三、釐清博碩士論文數位典藏的合理使用範圍;四、開發博碩士論文數位典藏系統加值服務功能;以提供其他單位在政策擬訂時的參考。
