Retrospective Theses Digitisation Project

February 10, 2009

Retrospective Theses Digitisation Project RMIT University Library is involved in expanding the Australian Digital Theses Program by digitising the back collection of RMIT higher degree theses and making a digital copy available worldwide. The Library holds about 2,500 theses in print, a valuable collection that showcases individual research and the university as a whole.

The full text of the theses is generally available online to the public at no charge with no restrictions on access. Participation in the program means that your research can be found by Google, and other major search engines.

The Library is now contacting past higher degree graduates to seek permission to make their theses available online through the ADT Program. If you would like to make your thesis available through this program please contact RMIT University Library, Document Services Unit on 9925 1850 or email eReserve.library@rmit.edu.au.
