ETD (electronic theses and dissertations) implementors from three universities talk about their respective services. Even though the goals of these three projects are similar, the three approaches higlight differences between off-the-shelf software and locally developed software, the influence of local academic policies and practices with regard to theses, and differing local user needs.
