Writing a Literature Review in the Arts and Humanities

• A Research Guide to Finding FSU Theses & Dissertations 

1) At  ProQuest Dissertations & Theses  database  

2) Enter keywords and limit the search by "doctoral dissertations" only. 

Most of the top research schools have their own institutional repository where they store electronic theses/dissertations authored by their graduates. Depending on the agreements between the students and the university (i.e., embargo), some dissertations/theses might be available for the public. 

1) At Google Search, try the following search statement to locate Institutional Repository of an institution:

            
                    "institutional repository" university of iowa 

2) Once you are in the repository,  use title, author, or subject keywords to locate the item in their Theses/Dissertations collection

If the fulltext is not available in the repository, try the ProQuest Dissertations or Theses Full-Text database or request an Interlibary Loan.
