Meeting with the ESB faculty



Thesis workflow
1.                    Does the current workflow (via CD through campus mail) work for you, or would you like to try online submission?

Current process of CD through campus mail or with print copies works fine. Posted theses can have CDs returned to department.

2.                    Any interest in having presentation from the thesis defense added as a supplemental file to the thesis?
Not really, vetting and data release issues.

3.                    Are there any ongoing concerns we should address regarding posting theses?

Embargos – concerns that data is being used before publication. Going forward would like one year embargo on theses. Department will continue to send thesis on CD when submitted, the thesis will be uploaded to Digital Commons, along with the abstract and contact information for major advisor. At the end of one year (from award date?), the thesis will become publicly available.
Department will discuss this and get back to me with their decision.


Other departmental opportunities in Digital Commons will be mentioned and discussed by faculty in the department:

1.                    Support grant requirements to maintain data
2.                    Spot for technical reports, etc.
3.                    Student research posters
