Review :
′This handbook marks a major turning point in the production of dissertation and theses. Scholarly communication has been changing rapidly, embracing the latest in web searching, social media, and online and open access journals. Yet, attention to the dissertation - the hallmark of an academic education - has been sorely missing. This handbook identifies and explores the multiple ways in which electronic means are becoming an integral part of the production of dissertations today, as well as looking at the scope in the future scope for bringing electronic and new media forms into the final form of the dissertation. The handbook first situates the dissertation in its historical and institutional perpectives, and then addresses the transformation from print to digital in dissertations from supervision to production to archiving and accessibility. Finally, the handbook wraps up with a section on research methodologies and methods that rounds out the book with advice for prospective students on how to be the creator of a digital dissertation from inception to final delivery. This will be essential reading for all involved in contemporary university education′ - Caroline Haythornthwaite, Director and Professor at the School of Library, Archival and Information Studies at the University of British Columbia
