Dissertations and Theses

Have you ever needed a dissertation or thesis for your research and weren't sure where to get it. You may be lucky enough to find a copy on the author's Web site or institutional repository by searching Google, If not here are some suggestions:

UCR Theses and dissertations:

Search Scotty, the UCR Catalog to find UCR dissertations.
Look for dissertations by the author or title, or browse by UCR department. To directly access dissertations by a specific department, you can simply do a subject search:

A circulating copy is shelved either in the Science or Rivera Library, depending on the subject matter.
