PSU Library’s coverage of dissertations has taken two big steps forward. We have upgraded from the Dissertation Abstracts International (DAI) database to the Dissertations and Masters Theses database. The Library can now provide the full text of dissertations completed in most North American (and some European) institutions from 1997-present. (For dissertations done at some institutions, the full text coverage dates back further than 1997.) View complete description of the Dissertation and Theses database.

Additionally, as previously reported in this blog, the Library’s full text offering of PSU dissertations now includes all dissertations from 1980 to the present. Review the list of these dissertations here.
