Description
In December 2024, the thesis and dissertation submission process at LSUS finally became fully electronic. Gone were the days of directing students to bring printed pages on specific paper to be sent off by the library for binding while library associates wrestled with dated publisher-specific programs. Now, personal and institutional copies are automatically ordered during ETD submission, and after they are delivered to ProQuest, electronic copies are automatically deposited in our institutional repository. This presentation will be a short session of 15-20 minutes, leaving 5-10 minutes for questions, that will cover the transition from print to electronic submission, what it's looked like over the past year, and how easily it can be to set up automatic deposit into a DSpace Repository.
