Some institutions do not lend their theses and dissertations, and these materials may not be available through Interlibrary Loan.
In such cases, you can order a copy through Proquest's Dissertation Express. You have the option to checkout as a guest or create an account for future access.
To place an order, you will need the following information:
- Publication Number or Order Number: Enter the last seven characters of the UMI order number.

- Author: Enter the author's last name, or the author's last name followed by first name.
Examples: "Smith" or "Smith, Jane".
- Title: There's no need to enter the full title. Usually, the first four or five words are enough to identify the dissertation.
