This database provides citations for over 2.7 million dissertations and theses from colleges and universities around the world. Close to half are available in full-text PDF format, including all St. Thomas dissertations that have been submitted to the database. If you come across a document that does not have a PDF, you may request it through interlibrary loan.
NEW! Find key takeaways, important concepts, and suggested research topics with the AI-powered ProQuest Research Assistant.
The Research Assistant can help you:
If you run a search in a ProQuest Dissertations & Theses database and then access a full-text document in your results, its Key Takeaways will be influenced by your search to make them more relevant to your query, and a "Relationship to your search terms" section will be included in the Key Takeaways. The Key Takeaways, Important Concepts, and Related Research Topics are all extracted from the full text of the dissertation or thesis using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques; no data from other documents or from public LLMs is used to generate them. ProQuest is not using the dissertations and theses to train LLMs, and ProQuest is only using generative AI with them within a secure environment.
The Research Assistant pinpoints five articles that can aid in answering your research question using the the descriptions/abstracts of each source. It provides in-line references to the sources to provide transparency in how each source contributed to the overview. Users can also refine their search by resource type (books, journal articles, and peer-reviewed) and date. To access the tool you can either use the direct link to it above, or look for the Research Assistant button in the top of any LibrarySearch results page:
