NMSU Library Announces Digitization of NMSU Dissertations

The New Mexico State University Library is pleased to announce the online availability of 1,459 digitized New Mexico State University dissertations produced from 1960 to the present.

The scholarly materials are available to the NMSU campus community through the Library's web site at http://lib.nmsu.edu/article.shtml. Select the option "Dissertations by NMSU Graduates" under the heading "Article Indexes by Name."

Both citations and full-text PDFs of the dissertations are accessible to NMSU students, faculty and staff through Dissertations & Theses @, a service that ProQuest provides to universities that publish their students' graduate works with UMI Dissertation Publishing, a part of ProQuest. The service was previously known as Current Research @.

Ellen Bosman, head of the Library's Technical Services Department, said, "Researchers at NMSU will appreciate having instant access to dissertations from New Mexico State University."

For more information, please contact Bosman at (575) 646-1723 or ebosman@lib.nmsu.edu.
