The ETD Lifecycle Management project, funded by the Institute of Museum and
Library Services (IMLS), is pleased to launch a public review of the
project's Lifecycle Management Tools. The Lifecycle Management Tools are a
documented suite of both new and existing open-source tools for better
managing electronic theses & dissertations (ETDs). Sign up to receive the
ETD Lifecycle Management Tools manual here:

During the public review, Educopia is offering free one-on-one technical
support and implementation consultations as needed through September 2014.

*About the ETD Lifecycle Management Tools*
The Lifecycle Management Tools are a documented suite of tools to address
four areas of ETD management.

   1. Virus Checking - ClamAV
   2. File Format Identifciation - Droid, Unix file, FITS, and JHOVE2
   3. Preservation Metadata - PREMIS Event Service
   4. ETD Submission - ETD Drop

The provided manual documents the purpose of each tool, recommends where to
deploy them in a workflow, and explains how to use the tools.

*About the Project*
Funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and led by
the University of North Texas, in partnership with the Networked Digital
Library of Theses & Dissertations (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. The
project has also released the Guidance Documents for Lifecycle Management
of ETDs, available from Educopia Publishing (
