English abstract

ETDs are the most invisible form of useful literature and the most useful form of invisible literature. This paper provides useful advice on the issues that will arise as institutions go through the process of introducing the mandatory submission of electronic theses. It is clear that most of the issues that have arisen at TISS will be mirrored at other institutions that are considering the same changes, and so those institutions looking at the area of e-thesis submission may gain some useful insights. The paper also highlights the common barriers in building the ETDs and benefits of ETDs. In the end how to secure the theses and dissertations from the possible copy, paste & print features have been discussed.
