Mote jem@pewtrusts.com ****************************************** Call for Papers The Electronic Theses and Dissertations Sourcebook Innovative research universities are now requiring ETDs--electronic theses and dissertations. Within the next decade, universities worldwide will require ETDs. As this newest form of scholarship emerges, graduate students, educators, and administrators need a reference book to help demystify the theoretical and technical underpinnings of electronic theses and dissertations. We are seeking proposals for 15-25 page articles that address the issues and possibilities surrounding this emerging form of research and scholarship. Topics might include, but are not limited to, the following questions: *How might electronic publication of theses and dissertations change views on scholarship? *With greater access to non-traditionally published scholarship, how might/should current copyright laws change to protect intellectual property? *What strategic moves can universites make to efficiently institutionalize ETDs? *Should active links in ETDs to URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) outside the text be permitted, or should ETDs contain internal links only? *How might graphics, hypermedia, and other non-text components of electronic publications change our conceptions of dissertations? GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSIONS September 1, 1997--Submit 1 page proposals. Include a 50 word byline with your submission. December 15, 1997--Submit essay in duplicate.
