At University level well-equipped computer labs must be put in place to provide, reducing the time from acceptance to public access, and, of course, one ETD can have multiple simultaneous usersLibrary community must take initiatives in the maintenance of ETD seriously. It is essential for librarians as information professionals to take the initiatives to make progress in this crucial area and librarian should take opportunity to attend workshops and conferences to gain knowledge of ETD repositories.
Role of Universities and Librarians
ConclusionINFLIBNET is now taking steps in this direction. INFLIBNET
starting developing a National Union Catalogue of ETDS in India
and INFLIBNET can assist them in formulating the policies
training and necessary funding. The ETD repositories should be
properly uploaded and maintained in order to provide accessibility
of research work. There is increased need of discussing these
problems globaly and UGC, INDEST consortium an open Access
Advocacy Group, ICSSR and National knowledge Commission.
are Playing key role in framing National policies for digitization of
theses and dissertations in India
