An ETD is an electronic thesis or dissertation document expressed in a form simultaneously suitable for machine archives and worldwide retrieval. The document is similar to its paper predecessor, but differs in that ETDs provide a technologically advanced medium for expression. They may be prepared using nearly any word processor or document preparation system and, if desired, the incorporation of relevant multimedia elements. ETDs eliminate the requirement to submit multiple copies on fifty percent cotton bond paper. Consequently, ETDs consume virtually no library shelf space, and never collect dust. Furthermore, with your approval, they can be available to anyone browsing the World Wide Web.
