Hi,
You are correct in what you are thinking. You must not publish a thesis
if its author is intending to publish it as articles, book etc.
You should always discuss with the author of a thesis (or similar) and
agree on an embargo where the item is deposited but is not made
available for X years.
I am not an IR person, but I believe in Dundee we have a 5 year embargo
from making theses accessible (or some time agreed between our library
and the author).
If it helps a little.
Kind Regards
Charles
