Open Access Theses and Dissertations (OATD) currently indexes over 1.6 million freely accessible electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) published around the world. Metadata (information about the theses) comes from over 600 colleges, universities, and research institutions. The OATD project is led by Thomas Dowling, director of technologies at the Z. Smith Reynolds Library at Wake Forest University. For more information about OATD and how it compares with other resources for finding electronic theses and dissertations, see the article “Open Access Theses & Dissertations: Launch of a New OA Discovery Tool,” from Information Today.
In May 2007, the Graduate School instituted electronic submission of theses and dissertations in PDF format. These documents are called electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs). Cataloging records in STARS include direct links to the PDFs. The content is maintained in DSpace, the State University of New York digital repository. Access to these documents is free and available to the public.
