English abstract

This research report presents a method of metadata harvesting from different OAI-PMH IDRs containing electronic theses and dissertations for designing a single-window retrieval interface. There are various digital media archiving software and these software varies considerably in scope and retrieval functionalities. So users suffer a lot in terms of the load of learning retrieval features of different software. To address this problem, this paper reports designing of a prototype union catalogue of electronic theses and dissertations, as a single-window search interface to facilitate the retrieval of electronic theses and dissertations on global scale. The purpose of this union catalogue is to build an easy-to-use search service through automatic record harvesting for providing access to database of worldwide electronic theses and dissertations.
