I am on the board of the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD) and CNI has long supported their work.
The NDLTD is pleased to announce the 2017 ETD Awards program. We invite all NDLTD members to nominate individuals they feel deserve the recognition!
Deadline for Nominations: May 31st, 2017
The
NDLTD's ETD Awards recognize and support innovative theses and
dissertations and leadership within the ETD community. These awards are
presented each year at the annual ETD Symposium.
The awards include two categories:
- The
Innovative ETD Award supports student efforts to transform the genre of
the dissertation through the use of innovative research data management
techniques and software to create multimedia ETDs and include a $1000 financial award.
- The
ETD Leadership Award recognizes individuals whose leadership and vision
has helped raise awareness of the benefits of open access ETDs and
whose efforts have improved graduate education and research through the
use of technology.
The
awards will be presented at ETD 2017 "Exploring Global Connections" the
20th International Symposium on Electronic Theses and Dissertations,
Washington, DC August 7-9, 2017.
Thanks,
James MacDonald
