Resource Highlights: Open Access Theses and Dissertations

Posted on by

Finding the full text of theses and dissertations on the web can be daunting. Open Access Theses and Dissertations (OATD) indexes graduate-level (and beyond) research from around the world. The database only lists papers that are open access and freely available for download. Compared to other theses and dissertations sources out there, OATD’s strength lies in the fact that it contains more masters theses than some other databases.

OATD is maintained by a steering committee made up of a group of information professionals most of whom come from Wake Forest University which is the institution that digitally manages the electronic collection. The About (FAQ) section contains more detailed information on how OATD finds and indexes their records.
