Abstract

In 2004 the University of Victoria Libraries housed over 7000 theses in Special Collections and over 1000 in their circulating collection; it was also the year that they launched their digital repository. This is a story about the evolution and transformation of the traditional print thesis as viewed through the changing lens of the University of Victoria's Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertation process. Learn about UVic's successes and challenges hosting a repository and find out how it transformed access to this important academic library resource.
