Discussion
- The paper-based TD:
○ the highest TOC of $75/title. ○ the most difficult for users to access ○ but may have the lowest preservation cost.
- The ETD TOC:
○ 2005-2010: $69.37 ○ 2010-2012: $14.37 ○ 2013-: $6.33
Discussion
- The initial ProQuest processing fee of $55
accounts for 80% of the TOC for both paper-based TDs and ETDs.
- The ETD processing software
○ creates rich and detailed ETD metadata
records
○ reduce the cost.
- The current TOC = case studies (arXiv
