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.

Example: For citation DA9412718, enter "9412718".

  • 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.
