Frequently Asked Questions of the ETD Initiative
   
  1. I want a computer to use when I need one (frequently the ones in Newman are full).
  The Graduate School has placed copies of Adobe PDFWriter (printer driver) and Adobe Exchange (PDF editor) in the various labs around campus. Additionally, many departments have this software in their own labs. Please have your department contact us for more information.
   
  2. I worry about getting help when I need it.
 

We suggest that you learn the software you will need to use long before you defend. If you know what features are available you may be able to be more creative with your ETD.

Please see the ETD Initiative, the New Media Center in Torgersen Hall and your department for training information.

   
  3. Where can I find the Adobe Exchange software?
 

See our labs page, ETD Labs.

Also, you may purchase Adobe Acrobat from the University bookstore (PCs and Macintosh). Adobe products come with extensive documentation. Documentation specific to ETD production is available on this Web site.
