Why Electronic?

Electronic submissions allow the University to fulfill its responsibilities of recording and archiving theses and dissertations more economically. While the primary goal of Electronic Thesis &  Dissertation (ETD) initiatives is to make the research and scholarship accessible, ETDs reduce the need for library storage space and advance digital library technology, thus improving library services.
