Early in the planning process a number of factors have to be taken into consideration with regard to the selection, installation, and use of a software system for an e-theses repository. An appropriate software system must be chosen from the various options available, the required metadata must be identified, and the creators and users of the collection must be adequately trained.

The JISC funded 'Electronic Theses' project investigated the above issues. Suggested solutions are provided from links on this page.
