– The Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD)

Dissertations (ETDs) from universities around the world.<div><br></div><div>Visit the new search service at:</div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:medium none;padding:0px"><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:medium none;padding:0px"><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:medium none;padding:0px"><div><div style="text-align:left"><span style="line-height:1.5;font-size:10pt;background-color:transparent">Global ETD Search - <a href="http://search.ndltd.org/" target="_blank">http://search.ndltd.org/</a></span></div></div></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><div><br>NDLTD
is an international organization dedicated to promoting the adoption,
creation, use, dissemination, and preservation of ETDs. It supports
electronic publishing and open access to scholarship in order to enhance
the sharing of knowledge worldwide. <br><br>Global ETD Search –
developed in partnership with the University of Cape Town, South Africa –
is a free service that allows researchers to find ETDs based on
keyword, date, institution, language and subject. Researchers may
submit queries and view results using the familiar style of popular Web
search engines. This new search service will allow researchers to
locate relevant theses and dissertations far more effectively than
current tools.<br><br>Global ETD Search is based on a growing collection
of approximately 4 million ETDs from more than 200 universities on all
continents. Metadata records are automatically collected daily from
individual institutions and consortia. These records form the basis of
the search service. Once researchers have located the ETDs of interest,
they are able to access the original documents from the originating
institutions.<br><br>Universities that wish to participate in this
service can find further information about the NDLTD and the Global ETD
Search service at <a href="http://www.ndltd.org/" target="_blank">http://www.ndltd.org/</a> and <a href="http://www.ndltd.org/resources/manage-etds/help-build-global-etd-search" target="_blank">http://www.ndltd.org/resources/manage-etds/help-build-global-etd-search</a>.</div></div></div>
