Next steps
• To verify the processes of applying Cybertesis template before the theses are sent to the library.
• Training more librarians to participate at the workshops of the Cybertesis template.
• To incorporate professors in the handling of the Cybertesis template to work as instructors.
• Spread the application of Cybertesis template in the peruvians universities libraries.
Lessons learned
Team work between public and private university libraries.
Listen to user suggestions: template download from the Cybertesis Web page.
Visibility of graduate students: contact with companies and institution around the world for hiring them.
