Abstract
Undergraduate dissertations were published by the Library at this year’s Degree Show, giving visitors a new insight into the research behind the exhibits.
After being impressed by the standard of writing among this year’s Fine Art and Art & Philosophy students, Dr Helen Gorrill worked with Kirsty Knowles and Michael Duncan from Library Research Services to publish 56 dissertations, making them accessible via QR codes alongside the artworks.
The dissertations were published on the new University of Dundee ISSUU website and made freely available to the public. This was the first time the Library had supported digital publications of undergraduate dissertations for the Degree Show. The aim of this project was to boost the visibility of the student’s research, give them experience of being published, and provide another dimension to the exhibits for visitors to the Degree Show.
Publishing the dissertations raised important questions about copyright, QR codes, and managing creative practice publications.
