ProQuest Digital Dissertations and Theses available

I'm delighted to be able to announce that [...] USC [...] [now has] access to all available full texts of dissertations and theses in ProQuest Digital Dissertations and Theses. Included are approximately 650,000 titles, with around 55,000 titles added each year. Note that not all titles in Dissertation Abstracts are available in digital format, only those that have been digitized by ProQuest on an on-going basis after 1996 or that each institution has paid to have digitized for titles produced in the years prior to 1996. A significant number of institution have done so, however. Unfortunately, USC is not yet among them.

We've are able to subscribe to this critical online resource as a result of the generous increase in our materials budget for FY07. [...]
