 Hi, this is Jessica Haigman with the Ohio University Libraries, and in this video I'm going to show you how to use the ProQuest dissertation database to find dissertations or theses by topic advisor or school. To get to the dissertation database, go to the library home page and click on the resources tab. On the resources page, look for the link that says find theses and dissertations. Notations and theses page scroll down until you see the link that says connect directly to ProQuest dissertations and theses via Alice. In Alice, click on the purple connect button to go to the database. At this point, if you're off campus, you'll be asked to login with your Ohio ID and password. You should see an advanced search screen. If you want to search for dissertations on a topic, enter it here. I'm going to do a search for organizational identification. As you can see, there are more than 1,600 documents matching this phrase. I could limit my results by clicking modify search and going back to the search page. If you change the anywhere dropdown to document title, you'll only get dissertations and theses where that phrase is in the title, which is only 63. In addition to limiting by title, you can also modify your search to look for theses at a particular school or with a particular advisor. In the same dropdown where we said we wanted to search for the document title, we can also limit to a particular school, advisor, or even department. I'm going to search for documents where George Cheney is listed as the advisor. To search for people, we usually search last name first, so cheney comma george. It looks like there are eight results matching this advisor's name in ProQuest. Once you find a document you want to look at, click citation abstract to see the abstract and full citation information. For most documents, you'll be able to access a preview of the first 24 pages of the document. Works completed at Ohio University, however, should be available in full text. If the document is not from Ohio University, there are several options for pursuing full text. In many cases, however, you'll end up needing to request a copy via interlibrary loan. To access interlibrary loan, use the purple my accounts tab on the library home page and click on interlibrary loan slash Iliad. Click login. Enter your Ohio ID and password, then choose thesis from the list of other options. Fill in the form with the citation information for the document. If you have any questions about finding dissertations or theses, be sure to let us know.
