OneSearch is a good place to start a search for dissertations on a topic, as it searches across multiple databases.
To find dissertations in OneSearch, first conduct a search by entering your keywords in the OneSearch box. After you get your search results:
- Click the drop down menu under "Resource Type"
- Check the "Dissertations" box
- Finally, click "Apply Filters"
OR, Use the OneSearch "Advanced Search" option, found under the OneSearch box, on the right.
In the Advanced Search, use the "Material Type" limiter on the right, and then scroll down to "Dissertations" in the dropdown menu:
Databases are another place to search for dissertations. Use the Databases A-Z and then use the dropdown menu under "All Database Types" and then limit to "Dissertations and Theses"
Databases may offer more limiters and search options than using OneSearch. The ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global database is the largest dissertations database with over a million full-text dissertations that are available for download in PDF format.
