to transform the genre of the print dissertation through
the use of ETDs. This award recognizes innovative use of
software to create "cutting edge" ETDs. Use of
renderings, photos and other multimedia objects that are
included in the document will be considered as part of the
innovation of the work. Each winner will receive $400.
- An ETD can be nominated by an administrator,
faculty member, librarian or student (self nomination)
affiliated with an NDLTD member university. For each
of these awards each NDLTD member may submit up to 2
