Theses/Dissertations from other Universities

Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations

  • The Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD) is an international organization that, through leadership and innovation, promotes the adoption, creation, use, dissemination and preservation of electronic theses and dissertations. 
  • You can limit by subject area to narrow your results

Google Scholar

  • Many dissertations & theses can now be found in Google Scholar (GS).
  • SEARCH TIPS: Adding the word 'thesis' as one of your search terms is often helpful when searching for theses in GS. 
  • FINDING FULL TEXT: Sometimes free full text is available (look for 'PDF' links in your results); often, however, only the citation is available in GS. When that's the case, use the citation to request the item via Interlibrary Services
