UF Theses and Dissertations        Old Page

Find records of UF Ph.D Dissertations and Master's Theses in the UF Library Catalog-- both print and online (ETD's -- Electronic Theses and Dissertations).

• Lists of records retrieved using any option above may be long. See Search Tips below for narrowing your results.
• See more details and other options

• Lists of records retrieved may be long; the number of records retrieved is shown under the search boxes on the left side of the Results List screen.
  
• You may narrow your search to see fewer results in a number of ways:
  
1. You can start by displaying Lists of UF theses and dissertations by UF Department; these enable shorter initial lists that may be focused on topics of the most interest.
2. Upon connection, you may enter one or more search terms in the search boxes (e.g. author's last name, word(s) in the department name, adviser's last name, key subject/topic word(s), etc.)
   
3. To see only Ph.D. dissertations, enter "ph" (with "quotation marks") in one of the search boxes and select "Subject Heading". For masters theses only, enter  "m"  instead.
4. To see only theses and dissertations published in a particular year (or range of years), click "[see other search options]" beneath the search boxes and enter the year(s) in the "Published from" boxes.
5. At any time, you may simply "drill-down" to records of interest using the clickable facet links on the left of any results screens. NOTE: This may work better after you have narrowed the initial list in some other way. All possible facets will not appear on very long lists of retrieved records.
• Use the browser BACK button if you want to try something else.
  
• Be aware that if you ever click "Start Over" within the Library Catalog, you will then be searching the entire Library Catalog. You may want to right-click a link to open it in a new tab or window and leave this special page available to start over searching just UF Theses and Dissertations.
  

• The most recently published theses and dissertations will show first; at any time the list may be sorted  (e.g. by author or title).
• As with any Library Catalog search results, you may add any records to a FOLDER and then open the folder to email or print the records -- or save them to RefWorks.
• If records for UF ETD's (i.e. Electronic Theses & Dissertations) have been added to the Library Catalog within the past 90 days, they may be easily displayed by clicking the "New Titles" link beneath the search box.
• In addition to being able to easily display new titles in the Library Catalog at any time, you may also set up one or more personalized RSS feeds if you would like to be automatically notified about any new records of specific interest (e.g. new ETD's from the Department of English) have been added to the Library Catalog. Just copy/paste the link under the button you see on any Library Catalog Results List into your RSS Reader. [See links to some RSS readers.]
