I am pleased to announce that members of the UCSD campus
community with a UCSD email address can now access abstracts
and a 24 page preview of completed UCSD doctoral dissertations.
This service is through the University Microfilms, Inc. digital
library of dissertations.

Through this site, you can:

  * search citations and abstracts of dissertations and theses
submitted by UCSD and published in UMI's Dissertation Abstracts
database,
  * view 24 page previews of dissertations and theses published
after 1996 (currently in production), and
  * download the full text of dissertations and theses published
after 1996, free for authorized UCSD users.

Our site has been activated and can be accessed at the following URL:
http://wwwlib.umi.com/cr/ucsd/main

We also have established links to the site through the following:
http://www-ogsr.ucsd.edu/current.htm and
http://www-ogsr.ucsd.edu/facstaff.htm

A link will soon be available on the Mandeville Special Collections
Library site as well.

If you have questions regarding this site, please contact Roberta Weil
in OGSR (rweil@ucsd.edu, x43552).
