Q. How do find dissertations in a library computer search. I am interested in those owned by UNO library and also those available through

To find dissertations first go to the library home page.  Under Research Tools, click on Find Articles, Databases, & Journals.  Then click on All Databases A-Z.  Click on the letter D.  This will take you to links to two databases.  The first, Dissertations and Theses A&I  will search for dissertations and theses from around the world.  The second will just find items created here by UNO students.  When searching the first database some items will be available full text.  Other will have a Get Item button.  Click on Get Item to see if we have the item from another database.  If not, double check our catalog by cutting and pasting the title into the search box in the Books & More tab on the library's home page.  If no results occur, you may order the item through interlibrary loan.

In terms of ordering your own copy of a dissertation (this can be expensive) I'd suggest you call Kelly Walker (402 554-4030).  She can be of assistance.
