    Electronic Theses and Dissertations: Progress, Issues, and Prospects
    McMillan, Gail; Fox, Edward A.; Srinivasan, Venkat (Center for Digital Discourse and Culture, Virginia Tech, 2009)
    ETDs form an important component of global scholarship and research output. Many universities around the world require, accept, or at least encourage students to submit their theses and dissertations electronically. The Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD), which promotes ETD activities worldwide, now has over 779,000 ETDs accessible through its Union Catalog, run by Online Computer Library Center (OCLC).

    The Impact of Targeted Data Management Training for Field Research Projects - A Case Study
    Petters, Jonathan L.; Brooks, George C.; Smith, Jennifer A.; Haas, Carola A. (2019-05-21)
    We present a joint effort at Virginia Tech between a research group in the Department of Fish and Wildlife Conservation and Data Services in the University Libraries to improve data management for long-term ecological field research projects in the Florida Panhandle. Consultative research data management support from Data Services in the University Libraries played an integral role in development of the training curriculum. Emphasizing the importance of data quality to the field workers at the beginning of this training curriculum was a vital part of its success. Also critical for success was the research group’s investment of time and effort to work with field workers and improve data management systems. We compare this case study to three others in the literature to compare and contrast data management processes and procedures. This case study serves as one example of how targeted training and efforts in data and project management for a research project can lead to substantial improvements in research data quality.
