“…Aimed towards facilitating the research conduct and enhancing the productivity of scholars, ETD perspectives have expanded towards interoperability [12], open access [8] and global visibility. Likewise, the following information systems were consistently associated with ETD: institutional repository [13], digital library [2], [10], [4], research management system and knowledge management system. Several issues however thwarted the attainment of the said objectives.…”

Abstract-Fast, worldwide interest spurred countries and organizations of the impact of theses and dissertations in electronic format; hence, the conception ETD. Regarded valuably in the research arena for data management, ETD mushroomed swiftly in developed countries. Compared to developing countries, isolated initiatives exist in few scholarly writings demonstrating some successful attempts while some projects are in its infancy stage if not chaotic. Aside from the concerns on intellectual property rights, findings in this review demonstrated the problems that emerged as consequences of the integration and collaboration of ETD projects that were designed and developed individually. This literature review aimed to show the emerging global concepts that could be used as benchmark for ETD initiatives to developing countries such as the Philippines.

“…McCutcheon gave a good summary of the issues and noted that "the descriptive record created by automatic harvesting is only as good as the quality of the authorsupplied metadata, which varies from author to author." 19 Metadata quality issues included representation of scientific symbols and diacritics, separation of titles from subtitles, nonfiling characters in the title proper, capitalization, management of whitespace, spelling, and other data entry errors.…”

Most academic theses and dissertations are now born-digital assets (i.e., electronic theses and dissertations). As such, they often coexist with author-supplied metadata that has the potential for being repurposed and enhanced to facilitate discovery and access in an online environment. The authors describe the evolution of the electronic thesis and dissertation (ETD) cataloging workflow at a large research library, from the era of print to the present day, with emphasis on the challenges and opportunities of harvesting author-supplied metadata for cataloging ETDs. The authors provide detailed explanations of the harvesting process, creating code for the metadata transformations, loading records, and quality assurance procedures.

The dangers that digital files face can seem merely the stuff of theory and risk assessment matrices until an institution experiences its first data loss; especially when those digital files represent the graduate research output of a university, the potential impact of that loss increases exponentially. The authors present a case study of the challenges one academic library has encountered in the stewardship of its electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) over the course of a decade. This article examines the problems that can arise years after the transition from a physical to electronic collection and presents documentation solutions that can make ETD preservation and curation more effective.
