Recensioner i media

. . . I would recommend this guide for library and information science collections. As the art of managing ETD programs matures within academic libraries, this book usefully covers some established best practices. After about five years of managing ETDs myself, I came away with new ideas about moving past some of the stumbling blocks in our program. With very few existing monographs on the topic, Mariner has made an important contribution to the literature.
