DataCite Connect Livingstone 2024 (#DataCiteConnect24) - DataCite

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.

#UBL announced that it will deselect an extensive collection of foreign #dissertations & #InternetArchive will be taking over this collection
The dissertations were originally part of an exchange programme between (mostly European) universities until the year 2004 but were never catalogued on arrival. As #Leiden University Libraries has limited space for growth in its stacks, it decided to deselect these dissertations, so that 3.2 km could be freed up for new acquisitions

27th International Symposium on Electronic Theses and Dissertations

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

🔊The #CfP for #ETD2024 is open! This year's topic is "#ETDs visibility at a global scale".
