Traditionally. theses and dissertations have been extremely underutilized information sources due to their lack of physical availability. The development of electronic theses and dissertations system will provide the opportunity for theses and dissertations to be recognized as a basic channel for the dissemination of research findings and an essential resource in the discovery process. In digital environment. many universities and libraries throughout the world are now making digitized versions of traditional(print) dissertations available online. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the current theses and dissertations management system based on web questionaries and survey of home pages. and to suggest a standardized theses and dissertation management model in Korea.

This study empirically analyzed the recognition and current status of university libraries related to the legal deposit of thesis and dissertation and investigated the ways to activate legal deposit to National Assembly Library. As a result, most universities conduct legal deposit of thesis and dissertation. However, most librarians face difficulties resulted from the duplication of deposits to many institutions. In the case that the deposits are not made, the main reasons are the university library's policies, duplication and inefficiency of the deposit procedures, and the limitation of obtaining copyright agreements. In order to address these limitations and to maximize the social and informational values of thesis and dissertation, this research proposed approaches to legal deposit of thesis and dissertation, including strengthening digital deposit system through the establishment of independent legal deposit law, preparing the effective ways of preservation. constructing an integrated deposit system, and developing professional collection of thesis and dissertation which can consolidate National Assembly Library.

Theses and dissertations are works embodying results of original research on a subject and substantiating a particular point of view by usually graduate students, as a degree requirement. Most theses and dissertations are not controlled by commercial publishing interests, and thus are not obtained in book-form by most libraries. Due to their lack of physical and ready availability and information about the contents, theses and dissertations have been extremely underutilized sources of information without distinction of nations. The goal of this paper is to provide the current informations on the distribution and management systems of theses and dissertations in Foreign and Korea. The findings of this study will provide the basis for developing an standardized management model of theses and dissertations that meets the needs of researchers, students, and librarians in Korea.

Theses and Dissertation(TD) have been considered one of valuable scholarly resources, while there have existed some limitations to collect, organize, and provide them. The purpose of this study is to investigate users' perception on six TD services from five institutions and to propose improvement strategies. Six TD services includes National Library, National Assembly Library, RISS, dCollections, NDSL, and Council of Theses and Dissertation Common Use. Based on the survey results from 151 users, the findings of this study identified that National Assembly Library and RISS were preferred by users. In addition, users preferred keyword, full text, department, abstract, table of contents, as well as title and author over other bibliographic information. More importantly, users needs were placed on whether specific TD services provide full text or not. In case that is not possible to provide full text, users have a preference for full text link information. As a result, in order to improve the TD services, service promotion activities, diverse access points, and full text provision are desirable.

This study analyzed trends in research activity as represented in master's theses and doctoral dissertations in the field of library and information science from 2001 to 2010. This study explores the year of publication, the university of publication, the department/major of publication, and subject by examining recent trends in theses and dissertations in the field of LIS, and comparing the results to previously reported by Sohn, Jung-Pyo, for the period of 1959 to 2002. Conclusions are 1) The finding of this study demonstrate that quantitative progress is being made in library and information science research in 2000s. 2) In comparison to previous study, average number of master's theses and doctoral dissertations per year increased four times. 3) The number of master's theses and doctoral dissertations on the subject area of information services were increased.

The research aims to propose improvement to legal theses deposit system in S. Korea by conducting comparative analysis of legal theses deposit systems in eight other countries including the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, France, Taiwan, Japan and S. Korea. The research used documentary research method including literature review by collecting and analyzing the legal regulations, ordinances, practical processes, and guidelines related to thesis submissions at national libraries and academic institutional depositories, as well as practical cases of thesis submissions at major universities in each country. Based on the analysis results, the key issues are identified and discussed, and corresponding suggestions for solving the issues are presented. For the improvement of the legal theses deposits systems, the research recommends legal amendments to the Library Law and Higher Education Law. On the practical side, the research proposes strengthening the legal foundation for KERIS, in collecting and providing theses, improving the operation of the dCollection system, and proposing a submission method focused on electronic theses.

본 고에서는 국내 대학에서 생산되고 있는 학위논문의 원문 구축에 대한 중복투자를 방지하고 학위논문의 생산, 관리, 유통을 전자적으로 관리하기 위한 모형을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 Verginia Tech에서 주도하는 NDLTD(Networked Digital Library of Thesis and Dissertations) 사례를 참고하여 전자적 논문제출을 위한 ETD의 표준화를 제안하였으며, 학위논문에 디지털 콘텐츠 서비스 식별체계인 DOI를 부여하고 DOI와 메타데이터를 통합관리하기 위한 방안을 기술하였다.

학술연구 저작물 중 연구 실적을 심층적으로 포함하는 학위자료를 저자 스스로가 개방 공유하는 움직임이 확대되고 있습니다. 국내 대학은 한국교육학술정보원(KERIS)에서 보급한 dCollection 시스템을 통해 전자학위논문(ETDs)의 유통과 보존 및 활용을 하고 있으며, 최근에는 온라인으로 저작권 동의, 이용범위를 설정하는 Creative Commons License(CCL) 적용이 확대되고 있습니다. 이처럼 저자가 공개한 학위논문은 각 대학도서관의 기관 레포지토리, 학술연구정보서비스(RISS) 및 민간포털 등을 통해 누구나 이용할 수 있습니다. CCL 적용에 따른 국내 학위논문의 유통과 이용 측면에서 변화를 살펴보고자 합니다.

We would generally use subject terms such as subject indexing for searching and accessing documents. So then, there must be any relationship between document's full-text and its subject terms. This study is started in this question. Master's theses in field of science and technology are worked with because full-text is relatively formatted. This study is to study locations of subject term on Thesis, distribution patterns of subject terms on content of full-text; 'Contents', 'Introduction', 'Theory', 'Main subject', 'Conclusion' and 'References'. Thesis were averagely composed of 1226.3 terms. And Subject terms were averagely compose of $12{\sim}13$ terms. As a result, 'Contents' and 'Introduction' have had the most frequency of subject.
