Conferencia realizado del 12 al 14 de setiembre en Lima, Peru del 2012 en el marco del 15º Simposio Internacional de Tesis y Disertaciones Electrónicas (ETD 2012). Evento aupiciado por la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) y la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC). / Institutional Repositories (IRs) and ETD programs conducted in December 2011.
The purpose of the survey was two-fold. The first was to show the growth of
Institutional Repositories (IRs) across Canada. The second was to illustrate the
state of the electronic theses and dissertations (ETD) submission programs at
Canadian institutions. The survey was a follow up to a 2009 survey and illustrates
there has been steady growth in both the number of IRs and ETD programs in
Canada.
Results of the survey include statistics on the number of IRs, types of materials in
the IRs, the type software platform, the number of ETD programs, whether
electronic submission is mandatory, if embargoed or restricted theses and
dissertations are allowed, the number of institutions having their ETDs harvested
by Library and Archives Canada and the number of institutions sending their theses
to ProQuest and retaining a microfiche copy. The survey was sent to Canadian
institutions where a thesis or dissertation is required for graduation and to Canadian
institutions who are members of the Canadian Association for Research Libraries.
Responses were received from 33 institutions.
Best practices for ETD programs and workflows will also be discussed. Focus
areas include the PDF format for multiple and multi-media files, OAI-PMH
harvesting, mandatory submission and embargoes.
By analyzing the results of the survey, it is clear that Canada is moving
forward quickly in the implementation of ETD submission programs. The fact
that over 70% of Canadian institutions have their ETDs harvested by Library
and Archives Canada puts Canada, and it’s National Library, in a unique
position to share its knowledge and expertise in ETD programs and ETD
workflows.
