ADT Deposit Form Guide


The ADT process involves creating a PDF version of the thesis, using your web browser to fill in a submission form; then sending the form and thesis as an attachment to the Library's server where it will be accessible via ANU Library Web Service.

The software behind the form will also automatically generate DC metadata which will be harvested regularly to form the national distributed ADT database.
