Does your institution have a “preservation plan” for its
ETDs?
General Comments• “Institutional lethargy/fear/lack of
understanding how technically easy this is”
• “Challenges are both technical and administrative”
• “OA is an ongoing area of real confusion and lack of consensus on this campus”
• “We are beginning to question the practice of automatically sending full text to ProQuest.”
