put in place to provide, reducing the time from acceptance
to public access, and, of course, one ETD can have multiple
simultaneous users

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.

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
