Dissertation Abstracts as a Source
Many databases list Dissertation Abstracts as the source for a dissertation, but Dissertation Abstracts actually does not include the full-text of a dissertation. For these dissertations, the full-text of many recent (1997 - present) titles listed in Dissertation Abstracts Part A (social sciences and the humanities) are available via ProQuest Dissertations Full-Text. If the full-text is not available in ProQuest Dissertations Full-Text, including those listed in Dissertation Abstract Part B (science and engineering), the dissertation may be requested via Interlibrary Loan.
