Dear Colleagues,
"ETD2009: Bridging the Knowledge Divide," the 12th international symposium
on electronic theses and dissertations, was held June 10-13 at the
University of Pittsburgh. The ETD2009 Conference was organized by the
Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations and co-sponsored by

Conference organizers received over 200 researchers, librarians, graduate
school administrators and information technology professionals from 23
nations who participated in the conference to share their knowledge about
digital library collections, learn about latest trends and standards or to
