The ETD Lifecycle Management project (http://metaarchive.org/imls) 
releases for public review the draft Guidance Documents for Lifecycle 
Management of ETDs. Funded by the Institute for Museum and Library 
Services (IMLS) and led by the University of North Texas, in partnership 
with the NDLTD and Educopia Institute, the ETD Lifecycle Management 
project is promoting best practices and improving the capacity of 
academic libraries to preserve ETDs for future researchers.
