The DataCite community will convene in Livingstone on 04 November 2024 to discuss how we can increase the visibility of theses and dissertations (ETDs) through the use of persistent identifiers (PIDs). In the session, we will discuss the value of PIDs, more specifically Digital Object Identifiers, in ETD workflows. We will present use cases of institutions implementing DataCite infrastructure for ETDs, data, and other workflows. The session will include several interactive components, such as breakouts to discuss PIDs and metadata best practices for ETDs.

I have a #copyright question related to #dissertations: say a student works at a US federally-run museum and has been given dispensation to write their dissertation related to its holdings, but the institution says it is work-for-hire so the author won’t retain copyright. My sense is that this is because it’s a federal employer.
What are the chances they’d be able to negotiate an agreement that gives the author copyright?They are concerned about future publishing opportunities, etc. #libraries #etds
