should be removed.”

Dissertation Checklist for Electronic Submission gives student option to select or

Here at USF Tampa Bay we were also interested in who had gone ProQuestoptional
or Noquest.
During a one hour research dive in August 2012 I was able to
discover:
University of Pittsburghpublished
by the University of Pittsburgh, ProQuest
(formerly UMI/Bell & Howell), or both

***I apologize if I have misrepresented anyone here.
I would like to hear feedback from those who used ProQuest and are now ProQuest
optional or NoQuest:
Did you receive any backlash from your university, administration, librarians,
students, or faculty?
Did you receive any backlash from ProQuest?
Since your change in policy have you had success with the submission process?

***Beginning with the Fall 2010 semester, dissertations at The
University of Memphis must be submitted to the Electronic Thesis
and Dissertation Repository (ETD).
Auburn University:
(still have not completely moved away from ProQuest)
http://etd.auburn.edu/etd/
***The database contains a PDF version of every thesis or
dissertation successfully defended at Auburn since the Fall 2005
semester.
Virginia Tech:
(still have not completely moved away from ProQuest)

***How does UMI/ProQuest get VT ETDs?
When an electronic dissertation is approved by the Graduate School
and it becomes publicly available, an email is automatically
generated notifying UMI/ProQuest. The ETD author must have also
submitted the UMI/ProQuest form(s) and paid the appropriate fees.
In addition, I found…

***How will electronic theses and dissertations be archived and
maintained over time?
Dissertations (whether submitted in electronic or hardcopy
format)
will continue to be archived and maintained in electronic and
microfilm format by ProQuest (formerly known as UMI/Bell & Howell).
In addition, both theses and dissertations submitted in electronic
format will be archived and maintained on a University Libraries
server. 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.

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.

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. We need to play nicely with OAIPMH
harvesting projects and (dare I say
it?) Google and Google Scholar.

Hi Gail,
The Graduate School at Miami University (Oxford, Ohio) does not require ProQuest.
It is completely optional, and we have now moved to asking the students to get in
touch with ProQuest themselves if they wish to be included in their database or use
any of their services. Our students are required to upload their work to OhioLINK.
