The University Libraries are committed to regular updating of   archived electronic documents to ensure they continue to be   accessible to future technologies and use an open architecture for   file types and structures so that they can be more easily migrated to   future file types.   Many of these universities I list here have dual submissions, which I   hope is just a prestep   to ProQuest optional or no quest.    2/20/2015 ETDs freed here (U.S. Institutions Respecting Student Choice in Disseminating their ETDs) | Free US ETDs (FUSE)   http://sites.tdl.org/fuse/?page_id=372 7/7   Kevin Hawkins   on January 8, 2013 at 7:44 pm said:   If you have URLs documenting the decision for the original list of nine as well, it   would be great to include those as links from each institution name.   Thomas Dowling   on January 28, 2013 at 7:09 pm said:   As more schools get out of PQ, it will be vitally important that they keep their ETD   metadata plugged into larger efforts. “Those records are in our catalog” won’t be   enough.
