This class will review copyright and citation concerns for preparing your thesis or dissertation at WFU. In addition attendees will get important information regarding preparing and submitting their works for inclusion in the electronic theses and dissertation (ETD) collection at WFU. Submitting ETDs is now required of all graduate students (excluding those in the professional schools) so any student preparing a thesis or dissertation is strongly encouraged to attend. Issues of open access and embargo terms and their implications for both ETD submission and future publication(s) will also be addressed, and the system used for submission will be demonstrated.
