Electronic Theses & Dissertations (ETD) Policy
In January 2001, the NJIT library initiated its ETD program, wherein the library would no longer provide in-print or photocopied theses and dissertations (TD's) to users, but would, instead, scan in the TD's produced by its students and make these ETD's available on the web.
