Dissertations and Theses on the Move

In our continuing efforts to make space in the very over-crowded first floor bookstacks, we are moving our bound thesis and dissertations collections to offsite storage at the Historical Research Center on 8272 El Rio, Suite 190. All of the nursing dissertations have already been moved; the medical dissertations will be moved over the next two weeks.

 

These items are still available for you to use. Specific methods for accessing these print materials are being outlined now and will be posted on the Library's website once they are finalized. The turnaround time for getting a dissertation delivered to the Library will be 24 hours.

Library Website Changes In Progress

The Library is re-designing its website, which will include a new and improved interface to the electronic journals. And we are interested in your input!
