ETD-db
• Captures source info from grad student• Manages the ETD development and approval
process• Makes records available for harvesting in a variety of
metadata formats, incl. DC, ETD-ms, MARC• Makes available local file of MARC communications
records for uploading to an OPAC

Harvesters
UofS ETDs are being harvested by (among others):
• CARL OAI Harvester• OAIster• OCLC NDLTD Union Catalog• Theses Canada
![Page 7: IR Applications at University of Saskatchewan Library: present and future CARL Institutional Repository Luncheon Saskatoon, SK June 8, 2005 David Fox Head,](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c428c1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Theses Canada Harvester Pilot Project
• Pilot Project 2004/2005 to develop and test TC OAI harvester
• Participants: Laval, Waterloo, UofS• Successfully completed in April 2005 with
the harvesting of 693 born digital ETDs from the 3 participating universities (213 from the UofS).
• TC harvested the metadata and the PDFs• These documents are now searchable in Theses
Canada and AMICUS.

“Repatriating” ETDs from Theses Canada
• All Canadian TDs for the period 1998-2002 are available freely via the TC Portal
• TC licensed public access to these ETDs from ProQuest
• We captured metadata and PDFs for 453 UofS ETDs from this set and added them to our own repository.
• Why? To make them more accessible

ETD Development Process
• ETD-db includes functionality for managing thesis development workflow. We don’t use it.
• Student completes thesis and defends in front of examining committee
• If defence is successful student is authorized to upload thesis text and metadata to ETD-db approval queue
![Page 26: IR Applications at University of Saskatchewan Library: present and future CARL Institutional Repository Luncheon Saskatoon, SK June 8, 2005 David Fox Head,](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c428c1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

ETD Development Process
• CGSR goes over the TD and metadata to ensure correct format
• Student signs NL distribution license form• CGSR approves thesis and it becomes public (providing
there are no availability restrictions)

ETD Development Process
• Metadata for unrestricted ETDs is imported into the OPAC through an automated script
• Unrestricted ETDs are available immediately to harvesters and search engines
• With the cooperation of CGSR we have developed a process for publishing, cataloguing, and disseminating ETDs that is relatively maintenance free
