TDX: first steps
1999: State-of-the-art report 2000:
Legal report Project and governmental funding Agreement universities-CESCA-CBUC Preparing the software: common interface
B3/Tde/0305TDXBerlin.ppt
2000: main problems
Disagreement at universities between different departments
Lack of information for the main players: the authors
Lots of “good” reasons to change not the current status quo

Solutions: doing it together
Complementariness ‘Globalitzation’ Promotion Emulation
B3/Tde/0305TDXBerlin.ppt
Complementariness Common TDX Intranet built from
participant universities’ information In order to:
Share procedures Share forms Share contracts Share promotion tools Dispel uncertainties

The future
Extending TDX to the rest of Catalan universities
Including all (or nearly all) current theses in TDX
Promoting TDX as the embryo of an institutional repository for Catalan universities
Including (some) old (print) theses and dissertations
