About the Australasian Digital Thesis (ADT) Project

Summary
New and recently graduated higher degree research students are encouraged to submit copies of their theses to the Australasian Digital Theses Program (ADT). Participation in the Program is mandatory.

The Program
The ADT program aims to provide a national collaborative database making research theses produced at Australasian universities widely available electronically via the Web. It is based on the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, a project led by the Virginia Polytechnic Institute in the U.S.A.

The Benefits
Participation in the Program provides:

• Enhanced access to research theses – at present often difficult to obtain.
• Improved recognition of researchers and research undertaken.
• Raised profile of ECU higher degree programs.

Restriction
If a thesis contains confidential or commercially sensitive information, the level of access to the digitised version on the ADT database can be restricted fully or partially for a defined period of time.
