Dissertation Databases
To identify dissertations written at other universities use one of the following databases. Once you have identified those dissertations you need, submit an interlibrary loan request to get a copy if it is not available online. You can also buy copies of many dissertations via ProQuest's Dissertations & Theses Fulltext.
