What is TAD Services and ETD?

Thesis and Dissertation (TAD) Services
The Office of Graduate Studies (located in McKee House) offers thesis and dissertation services through the Thesis and Dissertation Services office (located in Haning Hall, Room 117). TAD Services processes all theses and dissertations for the Ohio University campus. Each quarter Word/PDF Workshops are offered for those wanting to learn more about how to format a manuscript in Word. Also, each quarter TAD Graduation Workshops are offered to assist students in completing forms and understanding the process of filing a thesis and dissertation before graduating. All forms are available online at www.ohio.edu/etd, along with specific instructions on how to format and process a thesis or dissertation.

What is an ETD?
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ETD) is an internationally recognized acronym for a thesis or dissertation that can be accessed online. Hundreds of ETD repositories exist worldwide. The State Library of Ohio maintains our local ETD repository for online theses and dissertations in Ohio. This repository is called the OhioLINK ETD Center (www.ohiolink.edu/etd) and currently has more than 13,000 online thesis and dissertation documents from Ohio universities. ProQuest (Dissertation Abstracts) is a second repository used by most universities throughout the United States and includes many other thesis and dissertation documents from around the world. Ohio University files all dissertation documents in the ProQuest repository.
ETDs are viewed as a way to allow students and universities to gain greater access to research documents and to obtain cost savings and flexibility. At Ohio University, all documents filed electronically can be found at www.ohiolink.edu/etd and also through ALICE the online database provided by Alden Library. All dissertations in paper and electronic form are submitted electronically to Proquest (Dissertation Abstracts) for online viewing. All theses and dissertations (in paper and electronic) are processed through TAD Services.
