Thesis status by department: Counselor Education

Counselor Education:    

The first department to add their theses, they have never been available in print. Theses dating back to 2005 had been stored on a departmental drive awaiting a time when they could be displayed electronically. The department handles obtaining all permissions, and while initial uploads were done by the DRS, in recent years their graduate assistant has taken care of it. The collection contains 171 papers and is located at http://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/edc_theses/.

In 2015, the department changed from a thesis project to a capstone project, and a new collection was created called Counselor Education Capstone. http://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/edc_capstone/ . There are currently 28 papers in that collection, as of 12/13/16.

Things to know:
  1. Research involving the Veterans Administration is not allowed to be published, and will be subject to takedown, if inadvertently posted. Examples include: http://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/edc_theses/129, http://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/edc_theses/166 and http://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/edc_theses/164
  2. When granting new graduate assistants administrator privileges, be sure to add them to the Capstone collection, not the thesis collection.
  3. Both Capstones and Theses should be gathered into the larger Thesis Collection. Filters have been set up to do this.
