Looking for a doctoral dissertation that UWM Libraries does not have access to?

• Doctoral dissertations can frequently be borrowed (usually on microfilm) from other institutions through the library's Interlibrary Loan department.  If the WorldCat database lists the dissertation, use the "Request It" button to auto-complete the ILLiad request form.

• UWM faculty and students can purchase low-cost printed copies of doctoral dissertations through Dissertation Express. 
  

All theses and dissertations held at the UWM Libraries can be located by using PantherCat, the library catalog, where you can search by author or title. To search for what is available in libraries worldwide, try searching WorldCat.

A printed list of UWM Libraries' theses and dissertations (organized by department) is held at the Information Desk and is also available online through the link below.

1861-present; The database Dissertations & Theses (formerly Dissertation Abstracts) contains citations and abstracts for every doctoral dissertation completed in the U.S. at accredited institutions. It also includes some master's theses and foreign language dissertations. A preview of the first 24 pages of most dissertations is available. A customized interface to search only UWM dissertations is also available (including the full text of UWM dissertations from 1997 to the present). See the following guide for help.
