This document discusses efforts to maximize the visibility of electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) at National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU). It provides background on Taiwan, NTNU, and the National Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD) in Taiwan. Over 17,000 ETDs have been submitted to NTNU, with 89.7% available in open access. NTNU works to improve ETD discovery and accessibility through its new ETD system, union catalog, institutional repository, Google Scholar, and authorizing full-texts in commercial databases and NDLTD. The goal is to make NTNU's essential scholarly outputs more widely accessible.
