Welcome to the Theses Subject Guide

Theses and Dissertations

Theses and dissertations are valuable sources of highly specialized information - information that is not indexed in most commercial databases or available through search engines. The Theses Databases tab (left) provides sources which facilitate access to these resources.

Theses include substantial work in often tightly defined fields of study, and therefore they often contain material unavailable elsewhere. Often they are never published, so reading the original thesis may be the only way to obtain certain information.

For information about writing a thesis at the UofM, check the UM Thesis Guidelines and Information.
