Hi all,

We are always looking for new sections to include in our CD-ROM publication.
With over 600 Meg available every 28 days, we have a lot of bandwidth
available. :-)

Anyway, while doing a little brainstorming last night it occurred to me that it
might be interesting for our subscribers to gain access to some of the Masters
and Ph.D. thesis' that have been done. We are a general interest publication so
the topics could vary widely. As most, if not all, thesis work done these days
at least starts out in a machine readable form, this would definitely be an
easy venture from a technical sense.

However, I haven't done any post-grad work, so I am unfamiliar with the
administrative side of this. Are thesis authors free to publish their work
elsewhere or does it become property of the school? Also, what would be the
best way to solicit these documents?

I would appreciate any comments about this idea you might have to offer.

Sincerely,

Greg Tjosvold

P.S. I have had a good response to my free "INTRODUCTION TO NAUTILUS" CD-ROM
posting (Mac only). Just to let you know, if you missed that first posting, the
offer still stands. Just E-mail me your name, address, Modem type (Brand/Baud),
CD-ROM drive type, and preferably voice and fax numbers (the latter being
especially important if you are replying from a country where English is not
the first language. If we have a disk returned because of a bad address, we try
to call and get a new address. This has been a tad interesting in some areas.
