2brides - in your TTT you mentioned getting L's PhD professionally bound. I think that's a very nice idea, but also wanted you to know it is something that the school will probably do as well (although she might have to pay a fee). The one from the school will have all the publisher info, copay right date, etc, etc. It's soooo very cool to see it as a 'real' book.
K just got her certificate showing that her dissertation is now part of the Library of Congress - talk about cool!
I'll have to keep an eye out for that. Her program is at an extension campus and the department is closing so I am not sure if they will do anything. I'm not planning on doing it till she walks in May so hopefully by then I'll have an idea if the school is has that option.
Thanks for the heads up!
ETA: I just looked it up on the school site and it doesn't look like they do it. You can have it bound by the bookstore, but you have to drop it off to them (4 hrs from us) and it isn't leather bound/professional looking. For the life of me, I can't imagine her committee doing this for her.
