The paper shows that just like research article repositories, voluntary ETD deposition results in repositories collecting less than 12% of the available theses, whereas mandatory policies are well accepted and cause deposit rates to rise towards 100%. Modeling of the PhD and Master process in Australia is also carried out to indicate the delays and liabilities to be expected if mandatory policies are applied only to newly enrolled candidates. 2006-04 published D-Lib Magazine 12 4 Corporation For National Research Initiatives doi:10.1045/april2006-sale University of Tasmania UNSPECIFIED TRUE Wilson Bonita http://dx.doi.org/10.1045/april2006-sale AuseAccess (2005).
