Dissertations & Theses Database Now Available!

We are extremely pleased to announce that the library is now providing access to ProQuest’s Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Database – the Humanities and Social Sciences Collection.  A comprehensive collection of scholarly research in the humanities and social sciences, this database covers more than 1 million dissertations and theses.

Providing coverage from 1861, the PQDT database offers PDF full-text for most of the dissertations added since 1997 and strong retrospective full text coverage for older works.  Additionally, if a dissertation or thesis has been submitted to ProQuest with supplemental multimedia digital files, those supporting files are also made available to researchers. This includes audio, video, and other digital files.
