6. Conclusions

At Uppsala University alone about 450 doctoral theses, thousands undergraduate dissertations, working papers and other publications are produced yearly. An increasing number of them are now published electronically.

A great advantage of the DiVA Publishing System is that it is scalable and can handle the whole workflow on a large scale. That means that high quality metadata can be produced directly from the templates even for undergraduate dissertations and other low priority material. This allows a higher level of resource discovery of this type of material. In the traditional library workflow, when cataloguing is done completely manually, these types of documents - non printed documents - would probably not be catalogued at all.
