Note: Dissertation Abstracts (via ProQuest) [aka Digital Dissertations) is an electronic resource that identifies doctoral dissertations from U.S. & Canadian institutions from 1861- present. Abstracts begin from 1980. Full text dissertations from 1997 to present are available via ProQuest Digital Dissertations. Requires email address. Link to the thesis full text will be provided through a URL which accesses a PDF. The PDF can then be saved or printed. Downloading may take several minutes. UIUC Library IRRC (Interlibrary Loan) can arrange for borrowing pre-1997 dissertations or others that cannot be obtained via ProQuest Digital Dissertations if available for loan. For more information see How do the Digital Dissertations and the Dissertation Express Service work?
The Research Resources page links you to UIUC and other sources related to research responsibilities, such as academic integrity, copyright, ethics, plagiarism, research process, and the tools and resources to accomplish them, such as resources for citation format styles, citation management tools, the NIH Funded Research Policy, and Writing Labs.
