| contents | Documenting Digital Projects: Instituting Guidelines for Digital Dissertations and Theses in the Humanities Shirazi, Roxanne Zweibel, Stephen Electronic Libraries Guidelines Doctoral Dissertations Theses Humanities Electronic Publishing Layout (Publications) Higher Education Dissertations and theses with interactive digital components seldom fit neatly into the institutional format requirements designed for traditional humanities texts. This creates challenges for students, administrators, and librarians who are charged with preparing these works for library deposit. While disciplinary acceptance of digital dissertations in the humanities may be increasing across institutions, little attention is given to the mechanics of documenting and submitting such projects. Readers, also, are challenged to find and interpret digital projects that may not be entirely described in the accompanying paper. To address this, the authors examined a set of digital theses and dissertations at their institution to determine how these digital components might fit into traditional manuscript formatting guidelines. This article introduces the resulting set of local documentation guidelines for digital dissertations and theses aimed at improving access, preservation, and reproducibility. |
