Graduate students who missed the September walk-in seminar on Electronic Theses, Dissertations, and Reports (ETDR) may want to attend the October session 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 18, in 407 Hale Library. This is a come-and-go seminar, so students can stay for more tips and timesavers, or get their answers and leave.
ETDR walk-in help sessions provide faster thesis/dissertation help on formatting, Microsoft Word, LaTeX, and ETDR questions. About 30 Windows computers are available in Hale 407. Attendees can bring their laptops if they need specific help.
Topics include:
- How to use K-State’s ETDR writing templates (Word and LaTeX)
- Timesavers, tools, and solutions in Microsoft Word
- How to review your ETDR to meet Graduate School requirements
- Prior publication and copyright resources
Distance students or those who cannot attend may request an ETDR meeting via Zoom webconference, phone, or in person. Class presentations are also available in person or via Zoom. Use the ETDR request form (K-State eID/password required) to request a meeting time and specify what help is needed. Requests are typically answered within 24-48 hours.
