Q. How do I find theses and dissertations?

OSU dissertations and theses can be located in our catalog. Dissertations and theses from OhioLINK members can be searched in the OhioLINK catalog.

Many other dissertations can be located in the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses or OhioLINK Electronic Theses & Dissertations Center databases.

Dissertations identified through the ProQuest database that are not available online, or any OSU dissertations not available online, can be requested through the Interlibrary Services department.

If you have not used Interlibrary Services before, please click on the First Time Users link to create an account (an ILLiad account). After you have created your account, you will be able to place your request.

More information on locating and requesting dissertations can be found at https://guides.osu.edu/dissertations
