Notes
Abstract: The University of North Texas (UNT) Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETD) program began in 1999. Like most institutions that have implemented ETD programs for current degrees, UNT has a collection of print theses and dissertations that predate the ETD program. Although UNT is one of the early adopters of ETD, the UNT retrospective conversion project for pre-1999 print theses and dissertations was not started until 2010. This presentation will relate the lessons learned from the UNT T&D retrospective conversion project, including UNT's approach to the difficulties that were foreseen as well as the unanticipated challenges that came up along the way.
This presentation is part of the following collections of related materials.
