My university library has a dissertation office with a copy of every one of them back to 1931. You may not be able to find them online, but you certainly can if you go in person during business hours. Is that unusual?
- atrettel 6y agoNo, that is fairy common, as far as I know. The only issue with that is that some universities will not lend out dissertations via interlibrary loan. In those cases, the only way to read a dissertation is to visit the university. This is a big problem for foreign dissertations, since it makes it extremely difficult to access the research.
