Q. Can I request a thesis or dissertation via interlibrary loan?
Doctoral, masters, and undergraduate theses are usually not available via interlibrary loan and, for the most part, as unpublished documents, they are not appropriate sources for undergraduate research. This is particularly true of undergraduate and masters level theses. Appropriate sources, such as peer-reviewed journal articles, can be found using journal article databases. Consult with a librarian if you believe a particular dissertation would be valuable for your research.
