Abstract
Session Abstract. Increasingly, institutions are seeking to automate their core business processes around research and teaching. Where such automation also offers the possibility of sharing material more widely via the web, managers need to plan an institutional response to this potential opportunity. Sharing material on the web that was previously only available in print, if at all, demands adequate planning in terms of the business case, the need for skills and training, changing roles and an appropriate legal framework, as well as organisational and technical changes. As institutions increasingly make doctoral theses available via participation in the Electronic Theses Online Service (EThOS1) and the DART-Europe E-theses Portal (DEEP2), managers are making very practical decisions on these questions. This session offers a chance to share these experiences from three distinct e-theses projects - DART-Europe, EThOS and Entry To EThOS - and learn from practice, both JISC-funded and otherwise.
