Membership Types:
Individual Membership: for anyone interested in supporting the goals of the NDLTD. Annual dues: $25.
Institutional Membership: for a single degree-granting institution or a supporting organization, such as a library, involved in disseminating and archiving ETDs. Annual dues: $300.
Special Discounts:
Consortia or multi-campus university systems: for organizations that want to offer NDLTD Institutional Membership as a benefit to their own members. The annual membership dues for a consortium are $300 plus $150 per member of the consortium. For example, a consortium of ten libraries would pay: $300 + 10 x $150 = $1800.
Developing Nations: for organizations from countries not categorized under Very High or High Human Development in the most recent United Nations Human Development Report. The annual dues for these organizations are one-third of regular dues. Subject to approval from the NDLTD Board of Directors, annual dues may be waived for some organizations in developing nations.
