Your thesis or dissertation could reach a wide audience

Those who have followed the evolution of the Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) project know that Virginia Tech has been at the forefront in creating the worldwide interlinked academic communities represented in the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD). With more than 10,000 ETDs, not including those submitted by spring 2008 graduates, the Virginia Tech database remains a proud contributor to the movement to preserve and provide access to scholarly communication in all of its facets.
Yet theses or dissertations completed before 1997 have been left out of such academic communities, largely invisible to the growing numbers of students who commonly use the Internet for their research--until now.

University Libraries is now scanning bound theses and dissertations and making them available online to current members of the Virginia Tech community. If you want your Virginia Tech thesis or dissertation to be part of this database and accessible outside the university, you need to formally grant permission for the library to make it publicly accessible in the ETD database.

Please contact the Digital Library and Archives at BTD_permissions@vt.edu or at BTD Permissions, Digital Library and Archives, Virginia Tech, P.O. Box 90001, Blacksburg, VA 24062-9001. Your letter or e-mail should include your name, the title of your thesis or dissertation, your graduation year, and the following statement: "I hereby grant to Virginia Tech a non-exclusive license to release my (choose one) thesis/dissertation for worldwide access."

To browse Virginia Tech's ETDs, go to http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses or search Addison (http://addison.vt.edu), the library's online catalog. You will find links to scanned and born-digital theses and dissertations.
