May 29, 2008
As of May 29, the Graduate Center’s full-text access in Dissertation Abstracts has expanded. In addition to the text of most Graduate Center dissertations since 1996, Graduate Center patrons now have access to dissertations from other institutions for the same period. Many pre-1997 dissertations from other institutions are also available.
In addition, the Graduate Center subscribes to Early English Books Online. EEBO includes the text of over 118,500 books published between 1473 and 1700. Users should consult the information about resizing text, printing multiple pages, and citing EEBO titles.
