Why should I use Dissertations & Theses?
Because they connect you to millions of dissertations and theses that graduate students have written. ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global is excellent for national and international work, and ResearchWorks Archive at the UW includes UW scholars specifically.
Tip: Dissertations are bibliographic monsters, so if you find one that’s related to your research interests, then, in its bibliography, you’ll probably discover hundreds of sources to consult, some of which might be in special collections and archives that are otherwise impossible to find.
