A Comparison of Features Among ETD Submission Systems

My poster will provide a comparison of features offered by different Electronic Thesis and Dissertation submission systems in an easy to understand and visually appealing table. The intent of this poster is to offer a quick snapshot of what ETD systems can do to help potential and current users determine which products may best fit their needs. It will be of interest to those involved in the policies, management, publication or curation of theses and dissertations at an institution. I will be comparing Vireo, the open-source Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Submission and Management software developed by the Texas Digital Library, and Proquest’s free web-based ETD Administrator. I also plan to add additional systems to the comparison chart as information is gathered.
