Thesis and doctoral dissertations online available

Abstract

Master thesis and doctoral dissertations, as an important aspect of scientific communication mechanisms, are increasingly being stored in electronic form, despite current disadvanatages and unresolved problems. Usually, they are part of the university repository of electronic resources in which some documents of certain faculties and universities are being fully stored; as well as other students’ papers, and teaching materials. The advantages of such storage method, which is reflected primarily in “unlocking the intellectual property of universities, ” have caused, in addition to their involvement in university repositories, the creation of national and international repositories and portals that allow easy and quick access to this important source of scientific information.
In Croatia there are currently very few college or university repositories in which electronic versions of theses and doctoral dissertations would also be stored. Providing high quality and modern library services is extremely important for the overall advancement of the university. Establishing a repository, in which electronic theses and doctoral dissertations would be stored, is a necessity in the libraries of Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek as well.
