On a Windows PC, click the rectangular box with an arrow pointing down, and as for a Mac PC, click the blue box with the Apple logo to download and install the software. |
Print versions of dissertations are stored in closed stacks, so to view a dissertation in print, you have to make a request through the library website or visit the Book Stacks office on the 3rd floor of the Main building. Not all dissertations can be loaned, and even those available for loan can only be viewed inside the library building. Online access is recommended in most cases.
