Advance Planning for Thesis & Dissertation Publishing, held on the first Fridays in September, October, and November, will give users a chance to answer questions about copyright and author rights and learn about the features of UKnowlege, UK’s open access institutional repository that makes scholarship, research data, and creative work from the UK community freely available to a global audience.

Thesis & Dissertation Submission Support Office Hours, held on the third Thursdays in September, October, and November, will provide hands-on assistance for uploading submissions and revisions.

All office hours sessions will take place in The Stacks: Digital Scholarship Center.
