The Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETD)

Theses and dissertations represent a wealth of scholarly and artistic content created by masters and doctoral students in the degree-seeking process.  One of the first American universities to require ETDs for graduation, UNT began accepting theses and dissertations in electronic format in 1999.  Now available full-text via the UNT Libraries Digital Collections, the Electronic Theses and Dissertations can be located through full-text and metadata searches.  The ETDs continue to be linked through the Libraries' online catalog as well. For this ongoing program, the Digital Projects Unit loads the ETDs into an archival system, ensures long-term preservation, and creates metadata that complies with national and international standards for ETDs. 

Important Note:  Some UNT ETDs are restricted to use by the UNT community.  To learn more, see Electronic Theses and Dissertations at the UNT Libraries.
