Electronic Thesis Deposit Now Available
Students depositing master's and doctoral theses now have the option of going paperless! Electronic thesis deposit (ETD) opened on Monday, October 5 to the entire campus. Students can still deposit paper copies of a thesis or dissertation, but ETD is a convenient alternative in that it reduces, and can even eliminate, printing, travel, and mailing costs for students.
Electronically deposited theses are available through IDEALS, the Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship. Students can choose open access or restricted access when depositing electronically.
This service is a joint initiative of the Graduate College and the University Library. For more information about ETD, visit the Graduate College Web site at www.grad.illinois.edu/thesis-dissertation or email the Graduate College Thesis Office at Thesis@illinois.edu.
