› A requirement to provide the Library with a copy of the thesis for immediate public access.

“89.4 Subject to Rules 90 and 91, a higher degree thesis lodged in the University Library or in a departmental library shall be available immediately for use.”

› A prescribed format for bound copies

“89.1 In all cases where a higher degree has been awarded, after examination of a thesis the Registrar shall lodge with the University Librarian one bound copy of the thesis, printed on permanent or archival paper.”(ibid)

Previous HDR requirements

A status quo

Untitled/ Marcin Wichary, 2007 http://tiny.cc/dzho1w

From this policy point of view there was already a mandate in place to supply the Library with a copy, however the format was prescribed and thus the status quo had remained in place.

“..a set of services that a university offers to the members of its community for the management and dissemination of digital materials created by the institution and its community

members. It is most essentially

an organizational commitment to the stewardship of these digital materials, including long-term preservation where appropriate, as well as

rganization and access or

distribution.” Lynch, C. A. (2003).
