New Dissertation Reviews on for February 2013 on science, medicine and technology
Recently I've been having intermittent success in finding freely available fulltext for dissertations on the web. More and more universities are establishing open access archives like our own ETD collection. Sometimes dissertations are embargoed and sometimes they are available right away. For example at least one of the titles in the above bibliography is available online. Sometimes you will find them listed directly; sometimes you will find the free versions in a All # Versions link below a Google entry, for example:
Anyway, if you need a dissertation, do search the title in your favorite search engine before you request through Interlibrary Loan. You may find you can download the full paper right away.

Online journal backfile packages covering v.1 (usually)- 1996 have been acquired for Earth & Environmental Sciences, Behavioral Sciences, and Mathematics & Statistics. This involves over 300 titles, a few begin in the1850's. [We already had the Humanities, Social Sciences and Law backfile package.] In some cases we also have online access 1997+ and in some cases these are titles that only existed before 1997.
