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.
