[Air-l] De-lurking. Need help with thesis format!

[Kathleen O'Riordan]

Dear Ronelle

A colleague made a similar case at a UK Univerisity and the thesis was
examined in  CD-Rom form.  However, a paper copy had to be lodged with the
University to satisfy the storage/publising criteria.  His primary
argument was that hypertext was both the theory and form of the thesis.  I
can give you more details if you mail me off list.  This was in 1999 so
things may have moved on.
