I'm looking for exemplary etd's, but I'm also interested in discussing etds and their impact on scholarship.

these etds seem particularly interesting b/c of the different areas they are touching on the different writers involved in creating them.
1) The 1st one is in American studies [url]http://xroads.virginia.edu/~MA96/WCE/title.html[/url] by Julie K. Rose. This thesis is completed. I like that there's a virtual tour and this is a real website not some pdf mess.

2) This one is in Art History and was completed for a ph.d. http://www.iath.virginia.edu/~umw8f/Barbarians/first.html and includes images of the works CONSTANZE WITT was examining.

3) This one is being completed for an MFA CONSTANZE WITT Eventually, it suppose to become an html story space. I think if this ever gets completed it could be very interesting to examine as an etd.

4) This one looks very cool out of Cal State http://www.iceflow.com/onezeroone/101/OneZeroOne.html Leila Rae describes at as a loose magazine format. It's meant to be creative.

This one is an undergraduate thesis on Walt Whitman. I wish I had known what I do now about etds, I would have written one for my undergraduate thesis on Manuel de Falla and Musical Nationalism in Spain.

Oh well, this one looks interesting...I give you Walt Whitmanhttp://etext.lib.virginia.edu/lukas/whit/front1.html Got to say I hate the background colors on this, though. Really gets in the way of being able to read it clearly.

I'm starting to wonder about the creation of CD-Rom's for an etd. I mean yeah it's electronic, you can make more if needed, but it is not as open to the public as the ideal etd is.

Here's another one under construction. I hope Frank E. Grizzard, Jr. gets a little more innovative in his design before signing off on this.

This one might be useful if you need to find out some terminology http://www.sil.org/~radneyr/humanities//
J. Randolph Radney's design is also kind of tepid and dull.

http://www.duke.edu/~mshumate/fiction/htt/mals.html Tends toward the dull as well. Unfortunately, I'm guessing schools that allow online etds in html, may still be stifling the creativity by proscribing a desing that does little inspire the imagination. I get scholarship must come first, but does scholarship have to come across so dull, especially when the title is
