Search Tips
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.)
- To see only Ph.D.
dissertations, enter "ph" in
one of
the search boxes and select "Subject Heading". For masters theses only,
enter "m" instead.
- 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.
- 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.
Other Tips
- 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 check any records and click VIEW CHECKED RECORDS to email or
print them -- or save them to RefWorks.
- If records for UF ETD's 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.]
