Where can I find a database of dissertations?

Answer

The library currently subscribes to two dissertation databases:

ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global: The Humanities and Social Sciences Collection
TREN (Theological Research Exchange Network)

There are also open access repositories such as:

EThOS: E-Theses Online Service (has a UK focus)
Open Access Theses and Dissertations

You’ll find tips for searching and viewing ProQuest Dissertations & Theses on their LibGuide.

Additional database tips and tutorials, including a PowerPoint demonstration on using the TREN database, may be found on our Library Database Tutorials LibGuide.

Tip: If you're looking for a specific dissertation or thesis, check to see if the degree-granting institution has an institutional repository that includes the full text of dissertations.
