Abstract

Electronic publications are changing the nature of scholarly research and communication. The Mansfield Library crossed the threshold several years ago of providing access to more electronic journals than paper subscriptions. These ejournals are often purchased in packages which become databases and enable new searches, within article full text, never previously possible. A brief tour and discussion of our evolving infostructure will occur.

There are many universities worldwide that are publishing digital doctoral dissertations. The primary reason for digital dissertations is to increase access to the scholarly body of knowledge. The use of dissertations often dramatically increases when they are electronically available. A synopsis of opportunities available to the University of Montana will be covered.
