Open Access to Theses Has Become a Major Preoccupation for Institutes of Higher Education and Research...

...so, consider archiving your thesis with Israel Scholar Works

Diane Le Hénaff and Catherine Thiolon, Gérer et diffuser les thèses électroniques : un choix politique pour un enjeu scientifique, Documentaliste, October 2005. Only an abstract (in French) is free online for non-subscribers, at least so far. Here is Erik Arfeuille's translation of the title and abstract:

"Managing and disseminating electronic theses: policy decisions for scientific stakes. Now that the concept of open archives has been accepted by the scientific community, open access to theses has become a major preoccupation for institutes of higher education and research. Disseminating electronic theses is a key concern in providing visibility for and access to scientific documents that although not published has been validated. Following a review of the techniques used to deposit, process and disseminate theses, this article describes STAR, the French plan for depositing, publicizing and archiving this type of record, and insists on the scientific issues of a national policy on electronic dissemination of theses."
