Dear LIS members, As per inflibnet's earlier posting of purchasing s/c of PhD theses, I had sent synopsis of my thesis for their approval. The office telephonically informed me that they cannot purchase the copy of my thesis as it is awarded 10 years back (my PhD was awarded in 2002) and they accept only recent year awards. I don't know whether this rule applies in general to all or its is subjective. Hence, members, if you are submitting your thesis to ETD's repository individually, get confirmation from them even to send synopsis. (in my case charges for copy of synopsis/postage was waste and I did not get my copy back even after it is rejected) This is not a allegation on inflibnet or its actions..... But just keep our professionals informed about the situation to minimize possible expenses. Manjunatha ----------------------- Dr. Manjunatha K Chief Librarian T.A.
