國內外學位論文送存制度之探討

A Study on Legal Deposit of Theses and Dissertations in Taiwan and Foreign Countries

本文的重點在於介紹臺灣學位論文送存國家圖書館的情形。在臺灣〈學位授予法〉剛剛通過，賦予國家圖書館典藏和提供電子學位論文的責任，作者希望對於過去國家圖書館推動各大學送存學位論文的情形加以分析，並作為過去努力成果的紀錄。學位論文的送存和提供利用的作業必須能兼顧著作人的著作權益及學術傳播、公開取用和利用便利，促進臺灣學術研究的進步，並減少不當抄襲，違反學術倫理而被撤銷學位之情事。本文除了回顧過去國家圖書館的執行成果，同時，檢視先進國家的經驗，進一步對先進國家的國家圖書館是否擔負典藏和提供學位論文的責任，選擇幾個案例加以介紹，作為國家圖書館檢討現行政策，以及收錄和採集電子學位論文作業精進的參考。

The focus of this paper is to introduce the situation of Taiwan's theses and dissertations being sent to the National Central Library. The Taiwan Degree Conferral Act has just been amended, giving the National Central Library the responsibility of collecting and providing electronic dissertations. The author hopes to analyze the past situation in which the National Central Library promoted the deposit of dissertations, and as a record of efforts. The library's repository of dissertations and the use of the public must also take into account the author's copyright rights and scholarly communication, open access and use convenience, promote the progress of academic research, and reduce improper plagiarism, the degree of dismissal of the degree in violation of academic ethics. In addition to reviewing the implementation results of the National Central Library in the past, this paper examines the experience of advanced countries and further assumes responsibility for collecting and providing dissertations for national libraries in advanced countries. This article also selects several cases to introduce as a reference for the review of the current policy of the National Central Library and the collection of e-dissertation and service operations.
