| Electronic Theses & Dissertations (ETDs) |
| |
| An ETD can be only the electronic version of the printed work,
or it can be much more, taking advantage of new forms of media
and presentation not possible in print. ETDs will allow online
archival, and worldwide retrieval. Several HKU degree programs
now require the submissions of an ETD at the same time that
the printed work is submitted. Please follow the links below
for more information. |

| Printed Theses |

| Policies for MPhil and PhD on
the format and submission of printed theses are given by the
HKU Graduate School. For theses in other programs, the sponsoring
HKU department or faculty must be consulted. |

| Library's Role in
HKU Theses |
| |
| Author's Submission Form. The Libraries
acquire printed and electronic theses for PhD, MPhil, and SJD. The printed theses are then transferred and stored in The HKU Archives. For all other thesis producing degrees, the Libraries acquire and store electronic copy only. They allow
access to the theses according to the forms below.
Students producing print theses for storage in The HKU Archives, and electronic theses for storage in the Libraries, must
be sure to fill out the proper form and submit it to their faculty
office at the time of submitting their printed thesis. The faculty
office will pass these on to the Libraries. (Forms below revised Aug 2010) |

| Binding. Besides their role
in the University's ETD program described above, the Libraries
also offer a binding service, described in the link below. |

| Restricted Access |
| |
Authors of theses may request the proper authority to grant them permission to block access to their theses, print & electronic, for up to three years. Students in MPhil, PhD and SJD should apply for this restriction from the Board of Examination for Graduate Studies (BOEGS). These students should make enquiry of the HKU Graduate School for complete details of this process. Students in other degrees should apply for this restriction from their faculty office. If the Libraries receive a properly signed letter from the Board of Examination for Graduate Studies or the faculty office, the Libraries will 1) create a bibliographic record in the catalogue but suppress it for up to three years, and 2) mount the e-thesis but block access to it for up to three years.
If authors wish to disallow photocopying of their printed theses, they may write a letter
to the Librarian requesting this. If authors wish to disallow copying of
their electronic thesis, they should apply for "restricted access" as
explained in the above paragraph. |
