| Abstract |
Globally, the universe of universities is shrinking.
Boundaries are disappearing, and in many areas there is
sharing and cooperation among educational institutions and
nations, aided in particular by the emergence of powerful
digital libraries. In this presentation we explore the
Open Archives initiative, a solution to the problem of
interoperability of digital libraries. We explain how it
supports sharing of electronic theses and dissertations,
under the aegis of the Networked Digital Library of Theses
and Dissertations. All this is set in the context of
enhanced scholarly communication, leading to the Virtual
University.
