UNL Author

Search for it in the library catalog by the title or author's name.

  • Digitized
    • Most UNL doctoral dissertations, post-2009 master's theses and some pre-2009 master's theses have been digitized and are indicated in the library catalog with an 'Available Online' link.
    • The full-text of the dissertation or thesis is accessible by both UNL and non-UNL users from an on-campus computer.
    • Off-campus access to the full-text of dissertations is restricted to UNL students, staff, and faculty.
      • Non-UNL users can view abstract and the first 24 pages of the document.
  • Print
    • The print copies are housed in an off-campus storage facility and must be requested for use. The request typically takes a day or two to be fulfilled. Contact AskUs for assistance in placing a request.

Non-UNL Author

  • Google Scholar is a good place to start, since many universities make their digitized dissertations and theses available online for anyone. (This may not always be the case for older publications.)
  • If you want to search for dissertations and these from any university related to a topic, look at the ProQuest Dissertations and Theses database.
  • Typically, if you have a specific dissertation or thesis from another university that you want to read, you will need to work with the Interlibrary Loan department to see if you can borrow a copy from another library.
