New Classes Available in the Library
In addition to the regularly scheduled classes, the HAM-TMC Library will offer classes on TOXNET and the Digital Dissertations database next year.
Digital Dissertations is the authoritative source for
information about doctoral dissertations and master's theses. This database
represents the work of authors from over 1,000 graduate schools and
universities. Approximately 47,000 new dissertations and 12,000 new theses are
added to the database each year.
To access Digital Dissertations go the Library home page http://resource.library.tmc.edu/
click on Databases (A - Z List) and select Digital Dissertations. This database is also available for remote access at the educational level.
