 Hi, this is Jessica Hyman with the Ohio University Libraries, and in this video I'm going to show you how to find the full text of dissertations or theses. There is no single place to find the full text of dissertations or theses, so you may have to look in a couple of locations, or place a request for the full text via interlibrary loan. If it's an Ohio University document, start your search in Alice no matter the year to find either a link to the paper copy or a link to the full text online. If the document is a recent one by a student at another school in Ohio, check the Ohio Link Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Center to see if there is an online version. If not, look in the main Ohio Link catalog to see if there isn't a copy available for checkout from the school where the student did their work. For works from outside the state, it's worth taking a look in Alice and Ohio Link to see if someone has already purchased a copy of the document. If you don't find a copy by any of these means, there are some web sources that may be of use. Start by searching Google for the name of the document or the author. Some authors or schools will put their work online for anyone to read. You may also want to look in some thesis repositories like ProQuest Open, Open Thesis, or the Networks Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations. If none of these work or you'd like a hand searching for a copy, get in touch with us and we'd be happy to help. In many cases, we will be able to place a request for the item via interlibrary loan. To access interlibrary loan, scroll over the purple My Accounts tab on the library homepage. Click on the link for interlibrary loan slash Iliad. Click Login. Then choose the link to request a thesis under the other drop-down menu.
