Abstract

Information services gained a new dimension as a result of the rapid developments in information technologies and Internet. As a consequence of the developments in communication and cooperation facilities in the electronic environment, getting access to information quickly has become the main objective of information services. Hence, theses that fulfil an important function in the provision of information services in general have gained a new dimension as well: theses that are accessible full-text through Internet have been used in a much more effective way. In order for theses to be made accessible more effectively via Internet in Turkey, the components such as infrastructure, storage, archiving, access management and indexing should be studied. In this article, in three steps, the overall process from preparation of the theses in electronic environments to the submission of them to library, from indexing and archiving of theses at the library to making their full-texts available to users via Internet.

Keywords: Electronic theses and dissertations, E-Theses-Full text access
