e-only: Dissertationen an der Temple University

Philadelphias Temple University trennt sich im Dissertationsbereich konsequent von Papier- und Microformen und macht sämtliche entstehende Doktorarbeiten digital und wohl auch frei über ihre Digital Collection-Seite zugänglich:

Temple doctoral candidates are now able to complete all their work electronically, submit it for review in electronic format and have it permanently archived at the Library as a born-digital document. As part of this shift to all-digital disserations the Libraries will no longer add paper copies of Temple dissertations to the Library stacks nor will it collect dissertations on microfilm. The versions of the dissertations available through the Library’s Digital Collections website are the original and complete versions of the dissertation.
