May 14, 2011 – Virginia Tech has required that theses and dissertations be submitted in an electronic format since 1997. We have also been scanning print copies to put online. These efforts have greatly increased usage of our graduates works, both locally and around the world. Here are the top 10 downloaded ETDs this academic year:
