Abstract

The Autumn 1999 edition - LIRN 75 - included an article by the author which examined activities relating to the production and use of electronic theses in the UK and the USA. Since that review was written there have been several significant developments in terms of progress with existing projects and enthusiasm for new ventures. This article considers the expansion of the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD) over the past two years, UNESCO support for developments in this area, the 'Digital Dissertations' project at Humboldt University in Berlin, the Australian DigitaiTheses project,and related activities in the UK.
