Princeton University Dissertations Are Now Available in
DataSpace (http://dataspace.princeton.edu/jspui/handle/88435/dsp01z316q160r)
"Beginning this fall, newly submitted Princeton University
doctoral dissertations will be available through Princeton’s institutional
repository, DataSpace (http://dataspace.princeton.edu/jspui/).
The full-text PDFs in DataSpace will
be freely accessible to researchers inside or outside of the Princeton
University community. There are currently 71 dissertations in DataSpace
and new titles will be added five times per year.
The dissertations in
DataSpace will replace the bound, circulating copies that are currently held at
ReCAP or at branch libraries, and they will serve as the copy for use by
Interlibrary Loan. Newly submitted dissertations will continue to be
available through the ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Full Text database and,
as previously, one bound copy of each will be held in the collection of the
University Archives. Starting this
January, each dissertation’s Voyager record will contain a link to its
DataSpace URL.
This innovation is one of a host of changes that were
recently instituted regarding submission of dissertations to the University
Archives. Chief among these is that Ph.D. candidates now upload PDFs of
their dissertations to an online site hosted by ProQuest, which in turn bounces
the PDFs and information about them to DataSpace. Full details of the
changes to the dissertation submission process are available on the Mudd
Manuscript Library blog: http://blogs.princeton.edu/mudd/2011/09/modernization-of-dissertation-submission-procedures.html."
