* Carnegie Class:
* Doctoral Universities; Highest Research Activity
* Graduate Program: Research Doctoral, Comprehensive programs, no medical/veterinary school
* Summary: Until relatively recently, graduate students had no alternative to ProQuest/UMI if they wanted to disseminate their dissertation online. The development of online repositories, such as Carnegie Mellon’s Research Showcase, challenges UMI’s dominance as the publisher for dissertations.
You can give Carnegie Mellon University Libraries permission to publish, preserve, and provide open access to your dissertation at no charge to you or your readers; with this option you can also give your readers re-use rights (for example, under a Creative Commons license). Alternatively, you can pay ProQuest/UMI to publish, preserve, and provide access to your dissertation under a variety of terms and conditions, none of which gives your readers re-use rights. Or you can publish in both venues. You must decide what is in your best interests and the interests of your discipline"

[University of Victoria](http://blogs.library.uvic.ca/index.php/proquest-publication-optional-for-uvic?blog=22)
* US rankings don't apply
* Summary: "In April 2014, the contract between Library and Archives Canada and ProQuest (formerly University Microfilms International) came to an end. Up until this date, students were required to send their ETD to ProQuest for publication in the Dissertations and Theses (ProQuest) database. The Faculty of Graduate Studies decided to discontinue this requirement, which not only saved the students some cash, but was also considered unnecessary, since submission of ETDs to UVicSpace gives students exposure through Google, Google Scholar, WorldCat, and in addition, LAC harvests UVic's ETDs and makes them available via the Theses Canada portal."
